There comes a time

2009-07-29T13:33:00.010-04:00

I have been staring at this blank blog screen for a few weeks now. I'll sign in to make a post and end up signing out after endless minutes of a blank mind for typing. I wish I could just connect my thoughts directly to the computer screen; it would be much easier that way. I will do my best to give you an honest and whole hearted update of my journey through life as we speak.

I will start by telling you that all I want is to be happy, just as anyone does. I know this is what my family, friends, and fans want for me as well and I really appreciate that. At this time in my life I am the happiest I have EVER been. With that said, I have to admit that I have not been completely happy with my life for the past couple years. Bodybuilding has been my love, my life, and honestly my sanctuary for the past 11 years when I first competed at the age of 14. I dedicated my entire adolescence through my current age of 25 to eating, breathing, sleeping, and living bodybuilding. The drive and determination that I held was relentless and could scare almost any demon away, or for that matter attract them. I feel like I was so consumed by this force that it made me oblivious to the reality of life. I had a dream that began when I was only 14 years old and that dream was to turn professional in women's bodybuilding. As time passed, each year competing and placing no less than 3rd, I was becoming closer and closer to achieving my dream. Receiving sponsorships and working with amazing photographers for articles and layouts in the most popular bodybuilding and fitness magazines was a dream come true. The odd thing is when it actually became my time in 2008, having my professional card in clear sight, the passion and desire to ruin my body had finally began to wither away. Bodybuilding is a sport that caters to persons many different wants and needs. Entering the sport I gained confidence I never imagined having. This confidence turned to envy which then turned into a habit, and continued to run it's course, becoming an addiction; which some believe to be a healthy addiction. For me it was not. I was totally consumed by things that I could no longer control. I HAD to train, I HAD to eat, I HAD to do what I HAD to do when I HAD to do it. It didn't matter what anyone else wanted or needed, nothing was going to stop me or get in my way of what I felt I needed to do. My ways made me the most independent person I know, but also the most selfish and inconsiderate. Even in the midst of all this it was worth it to me because I wanted to be a professional bodybuilder and I was in love with the sport. There is no doubt in my mind that I was in love with bodybuilding; dieting, competing, training, and everything that comes with being an admirable athlete. I was star struck to know that I was rising to the level of the ones I had always admired. It's the most flattering feeling to know that you have "fans" and people all around the world know who you are and even look up to you. That I have to say is the most fulfilling part of bodybuilding; knowing that you can impact other peoples lives and give people the drive to follow their dreams. I don't always have the chance to answer every email that I receive but I most definitely try to read them all, and I thank each and every person that has taken the time to impact my life with something as small and thoughtful as an email. I try to always give you my positive thoughts and advice when presented with the opportunity.

I feel like I am rambling here. I will tell you personally that I will always have a passion for bodybuilding, it served as my first love, but now I am at a crossroads in life where I feel I need to venture down a road that has been less taken the majority of my life. I want to live live freely, love freely, and have the actual sense of freedom. I want to be known as just me for once. There are so many things in life that I want to do but have always been restricted due to bodybuilding. I admit that these restrictions were self-made but I wanted to be the best and I was willing to do anything to get there. To elaborate, I restricted myself from serious relationships, family, friends, and just life in general. I felt that I had to have that sense of independence and control to be my absolute best. Now I can see how silly this all appears. Things that seem so important one day can seem completely irrelevant the next. I think this all ties in with me growing older and realizing what really matters in life, understanding that my friends and family and strong relationships create happiness for me. For the last 2 years I have been struggling to let bodybuilding go; feeling scared and afraid of being lost without my sense of achievement. I am so happy to say that I have finally come to ends with those thoughts. I can not say that I will "never" compete again but I can say that I am the happiest I have ever been just living life day to day, knowing that I have made a positive difference in women's bodybuilding and others lives.

Thank you so much for listening!

I love you all and hope you will continue to follow my life as I will always portray and promote a healthy physical lifestyle.

All my love,

I love Canada!

What you mean to me,

Is more than I can express.

You see, I had no sister when I was little

To call when I was in distress.

When we first met,

We had no clue,

What was getting ready to happen,

Was not completely out of the blue.

God had a plan,

Throughout all the years,

He was making us for each other,

To share life's smiles and tears.

I never could have imagined,

What a sister's love was about,

Until I met you,

And then I really found out.

A sister's love is unconditional,

It's a love that has no end,

A sister's love wants the best for each other,

It's a love that will always defend.

Sometimes we may get mad,

Or we may begin to fight,

But that's the fun part about having a sister,

We both think we're always right!

I'm so glad that I did not have,

A sister in the past,

It's made me much more thankful,

For the sister I have at last.

Weekend Time!!

2009-05-09T00:28:00.004-04:00

Again, why is this underlined? Anyways. . .

How is everyone?

I'm good! Ok, that's a flat out lie, I'm so stressed! I have so much going on, and so much that I have to get done, but just not enough time in the day! Or the week, even. When I was in college, I looked forward to the weekends because all I had to do was study and go to clinical at the hospital. When I first became a Nurse, I looked forward to the weekdays because I worked the weekends. Now, my schedule is all over the place and I look forward to 2359 becoming 0000!! . . . it's the only way I can decipher one day from the next.

I've been helping a friend with preparation for a local figure show for the past sev eral weeks. The show is tomorrow. I met up with her today and she is looking great! There's no doubt in my mind that she's going to outshine everyone on the stage. I'm so excited for her. It's her 1st time ever on stage and she's totally infatuated and saturated by every aspect of it.

Training is going(now the underlining disappears?) good. I haven't become too excited yet, about it all. When things get a little less hectic and I am able to slow down a bit and think straight, I'm sure the butterflies will begin fluttering around.

Not much longer and I'll be spending time with my BFF, Cin!! I'm going to visit her really soon and I can't wait!

My grass is amazing!!! (fingers crossed the scorching sun doesn't kill it) I have been taking such good care of it! I mowed the back last week, and man was that a 5 hour chore! The grass was up to my face! It was horrible! Thank goodness my brother is amazing and loves me dearly! :) I did the weed eating, which was like fighting your way through a jungle. I was looking for Tarzan but never saw him. Then today I mowed the front and wow! it looks great! It's green! I have to say I did an outstanding job. . . oh yeah, I even mowed in diagonal lines :) and the weed-eating was nothing less than spectacular. . . All by my sweet little self :) Only thing gone wrong is my basketball goal is now broke in half, and tomorrow will be on its way to the dump. oops :) I played on that thing almost every night! Deezy is an amazing defensive guard!

I'm off to bed. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Do something fun!

17-9, and we WIN!!

Hi Guys!!

It's me, checking in. Just in from our softball game, which was a blast! Above is a picture of my sister, Shannon, and I after the game. I absolutely LOVE being back on a team. Bodybuilding is an individual sport, which I also love, but I really miss team sports. We have a great team with great players and great attitudes. You can't ask for anything better! Our season lasts until May, I believe, then following there is a league team and co-ed team that I will play for. Also, I will be coaching kids basketball! That is so exciting for me! I love kids, and basketball is my long lost love, so it couldn't be any better! I am watering my yard tonight. It hasn't been raining much lately. It's been in the 90's everyday for the last week. I went to the lake a couple times and laid out in the sun a few times too. The warm weather makes you want to get out of the house and just do things, anything! I watched Bedtime Stories last night. Unlike Marley and Me, it was a fantastic movie! Alright guys, it's time to run out and move the sprinklers! Lets hope I don't spray myself in the face like I did the other night!! lol

Goodnight

xoxo

...here is a funny picture of me playing the air guitar and Shannon, well, I'm not exactly sure what she was doing??!! lol

Happy Weekend...

2009-04-17T17:14:00.003-04:00

Stopping in to wish you guys a happy weekend! I'm heading out to pick up a few things for the house now. Tomorrow is the NC State Bodybuilding Show. I have a few friends competing and I will present a few trophies tomorrow night. I guess I will head up there for prejudging in the morning as well. I really enjoy prejudging and don't care much for the night shows. I remember the exact moment of being on that stage in 2004. That was so overwhelming, but fulfilling!!

Have a great weekend!

Talk soon!

xoxo

!!HAPPY EASTER!!

HAPPY EASTER

Hey-lo!!

I have NO IDEA why this stupid thing is underlining everything I type. It's kind of funny but at the same time it's making me mad, lol. I just want to type normal, dang it. I went to church this morning. Easter Sunday is always a cute little play, but today I was quite disappointed. Basically, it was a reenactment of the last supper which led to us receiving communion. That's it!! Then the preacher had the sermon. Our Christmas play is always amazing! It's called "The Singing Christmas Tree." I absolutely LOVE the singing/music at my church. We have a huge choir, a band, drums, guitars, and much more; not to mention great soloist! If they allowed Guitar Hero players in the band I'd be first in line, but sorry to say they don't. AND I'm a great singer too, but wouldn't want to out-perform all the great talent we already have :) ...sike! My land has finally been tilled and seeded. I spent hours the other night running in and out of the house, moving the sprinklers around to make sure it all had water ...It rained the next day - harder than it's rained in years! See what I get for trying?! It's really nice here today, weather in the 70's. I have softball practice at 7:30 tonight. We have a pretty awesome team; got some talent, baby! As we said in high school, "Yeaaaaaaaaa Baaaaaby!" It was pretty funny last week at our first practice, I haven't really played in about 2 years. My batting was out of this world! But, whew, my fielding ....uggghuuumm, did I say how great my batting was? lol. I played some ball last night with my nephew. He's 7 years old. He's starting to get really good at baseball, but insist on playing soccer. He was practicing pitching to me and I'm thinking dang, he's getting good, and then he says to me, "Britt, I don't really like baseball." lol. Anyways, things have been really great around here lately. Contest prep is coming along as planned. My life seems to be pretty enjoyable. I think I've laughed more in the last month than I did all last year! Also, my tree has survived! That makes me happy! I feel like such a good Mom! But, I must tell you, never ever, never ever ever, put a boiled Easter egg in your pocket! Especially one that you want to keep! Yes, I would have failed Home-Ec class. I watched the movie Marley and Me the other day. What a horrible movie!! I bought it! I'm taking it back! The dog dies in the end!! I couldn't handle it... just couldn't handle it. I was on the floor holding Deezy, sobbing, for about 30 minutes after the movie ended!! Don't watch it! And sorry for ruining the movie for you if you haven't seen it but just believe me, you wouldn't have wanted to see it anyways! lol. Alright guys, I need to get a move on. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and I will be in touch soon! And make sure you dye easter eggs! Don't be a scrooge!

Love Always,

Candid per request

2009-04-03T00:57:00.005-04:00

So here's as candid as it gets guys. I've had quite a few request for candid pics around contest shape. These are a few days after 2007 Nationals (obviously after I stuffed myself silly, i.e. the protruding abs). Veins, bulging muscles, fading ProTan, it's all here. Hope you enjoy. I was shooting video and pictures simultaneously with FemFlex, but I have not the slightest clue what I was doing/thinking in these candid shots...

Training is coming along great!! What's all this controversy about the Tampa Pro?? Are they having it? or no? ...I'm confused but I wish [they] would make [their] minds up! I know you guys have always wanted to see Cin and I on-stage together, and we are trying to make that happen this year. TRYING!! :o) So we'll see! Stay tuned for that ;)

Have a great weekend!! I can't wait for Saturday...(Cheat meal night :) !!!! Mmmmm, steak!!

XOXO

Fergie and Jesus

2009-03-25T15:28:00.005-04:00

My favorite movie of all times is Step Brothers. I watch it over and over while doing cardio. I can probably reiterate every vulgar line. What a skill, huh? I wont be so rude to quote my favorite repulsive lines. I was so tired this morning due to redline depletion (stimulants are key! lol.) I have never laughed so hard when I was so tired.

On another note, I don't understand why people get in the state of mind that they are doomed for life. It makes sense to me if you are not happy with your current state, to think, plan, and take action. Apparently I think different than some. I recently encountered a situation that I just couldn't grasp the reality of. Why, day after day, would you step into a place that is supposed to be your glory, with a piss-ass attitude. I am referring to a bodybuilder entering his place of sanity, the gym. When asked, they say, "Because if I leave, that's giving up, quitting." My response to that is bullshit. If a human has a passion, a burning fire deep within, he will find a way. WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY. If the gym is your worst enemy, why would you call yourself a bodybuilder? Are you trying to make your life a living hell? I'm not being completely heartless, I understand that we all have our days, weeks, and maybe even months. But if there's no effort to change the situation, well, all I can say is you reap what you sew. "I don't know that I can do it anymore." Then you CAN'T! Point blank. Get off your ass, stop pitying yourself, and step up to the plate. Get rid of the sorry ass attitude. Sorry ass people have sorry ass attitudes. Have some faith, believe in yourself, stop complaining. If there's a problem fix it and move on, conquer. On the other hand, if you're miserable and you don't believe in yourself, find another hobby. Because all bodybuilding is to you is a hobby. A passion is something that gives you chills, puts you in a state of euphoria where you're invincible to the world. No one or no thing can stop you from conquering. Back to the statement made of "because that's quitting." Stepping up to the front doors of the gym, seeing your reflection in the glass doors with the mentality of having an unsuccessful workout, and STILL walking in ....that's quitting. I'm smart enough to know if you start your workout with that mentality, you will end your workout soon as a failure. Turn around, go home, and don't come back until you're ready to do some damage. There's a difference between this situation and the situation of one that is tired and run down, dreading working out, but still coming into the gym with the attitude of success. You have it or you don't. There's no in-between. There WILL be stones in the road, and you WILL have bad days, but if you don't have the WILL to succeed then face it, bodybuilding is NOT for you. Move on.

Now, sorry for that but now you know a pet peeve of mine. I hope that one I encountered will read this. This is me being real. I'm not trying to hurt anyone or put anyone down but there comes a point when you need to make eye contact with youself in the mirror and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

I think I need to go now. LOL. I hope that you all have a great day and I will be in touch soon.

Love,
B

Short-term memory loss

2009-03-17T18:04:00.006-04:00

Apparently I'm having a bout of short-term memory loss. I was driving home from getting my nails done and thought of something I wanted to say to you guys. Sorry. I have a bad memory anyways. I have no idea how I did so well in college. Maybe because I had no life and spent the life I did have in the library like a total nerd. So, I'm going to ramble a little here...

Training is SICK. Not in crazy weight terms but in this insane motivation kind-of-way that I have right now. When you train by yourself for sometime you get in the so called veiled groove. I started training with a friend about a month ago, helping her with her diet, as she helps me with motivation. Man, I wasn't realizing how plain, simple, and routine I was training. It makes me a little nauseous even thinking how many workouts I wasted. Since I have been dieting, it's like I have this indomitable will to conquer. It's crazy and I love it. On her page, she's lost about 12 pounds and is on the way to a hot bikini body!

I know you guys like to see "numbers," and you also know that I don't talk about them too much. Nothing crazy as I have posted before, but here's some numbers from my forth-set weight on back and legs. I strive for 10-12 reps, and no matter what I HAVE to get 8. Get 8 or don't do the weight :)

Dead-lifts (half-reps) - 315
Stiff-leg deads from the floor - 225
Squats (hams touching calves) - 275
Dumbell rows (single arm) - 100

Hope you enjoy reading that. I don't bank on weight, but more so accurate form and muscle performance. Although, I will say it feels good as hell to throw around some stout weight.

Plant Update (previous post): I don't like to throw out the F-bomb often, but f***! ....f***! ....f***! I'd post a picture of the "thing" but I'm too embarrassed. It's pretty sad that I can't keep the stupid thing alive. I mean, come on, how hard is it? My other plants are pretty and green! I'm not prejudice, I treat them all the same! I haven't taken it back to Lowe's just yet but I'm going to. And I don't want another one either!

OK, well, I have to get packing. I'm going to New York for a few days. You guys be good and the picture I posted was from Los Angeles, a few days after 2007 Nationals; Physique Art Photography, Mike Yurkovic.

18.5 weeks

Love you,
B

I want to be there

2009-03-12T14:06:00.002-04:00

I didn't even know this was on the net. I came across it on YouTube and I've watched it about 50x. I've thought of the good and the bad and can not wait to be back on stage - I have to make a difference. 19.5 weeks. I wanted to share it with you and I hope you enjoy! 2007 Nationals, 2nd Place.

XOXO

Fun, exhausting, ARNOLD weekend

2009-03-09T17:37:00.005-04:00

Hi!

I left out Thursday for the AC and as much fun as it was I am so glad to be home ...Well, kind of. I went with SPECIES to help out with the booth. This year was the 1st that I have actually worked at the AC as I usually just go for fun. And damn, those 3 days will tire you out quicker than pre-exhaustion workouts! I am trying to get caught up and back on track today, although I did cancel my 6am workout this morning :) I ate so much while I was there. I had an overload of protein bars and shakes! I bought the cutest workout clothes at the Expo! BiaBrazil and Equilibrium are my FAVORITE now :) I finally got to hang out with Colette and Dave this weekend. After all the emails during contest season, I finally meet the guys behind the computer taking my food away and telling me to do 10 more minutes of cardio!!! These 2 are great people and so fun to be around! I laughed all weekend. Especially when Romano and Dave were together. It was a blast. I also got to meet and hang out with HHH the wrestler. He is funny as well and pretty down to earth. When it was time for him to sign autographs, we just put our pics up and got out of the way... His fans were crazy. Why would you want Britt Miller's autograph when you can get HHH's!!!??? I met so many fans that I have got to know over the past years. Thank you guys for your support! I wouldn't be here without you! I was able to finally put faces with names that are part of the SPECIES team. Here is who was at the booth most the weekend ..Me, Colette, Dave(well, sometimes), Joel Goldburg, Kat Ramirez, Jen Cowan, PJ Braun, Guy Cisternino, Sean Andros, HHH, Arina Manta, the RX Radio crew, John Romano, Mavi Gioia, Roseanne Desmarais, Catherine Holland, Julieann Kulla, Melissa Dettwiller, Isabelle Turell, and Dena Westerfield. There are tons of pics from the entire weekend on www.rxmuscle.com. The trip home was a little sad and very tiring. My stomach was in knots the entire way home. I had a lot on my mind and needed some good sleep. It was about a 7 hour trip home with my layover in Detroit. I saw Yaxini in Detroit. She was sitting, eating a huge bag of Cheetos. I just had to laugh because I know that state of mind after a show. She placed 3rd and looked great as always. Debi Laszewski was amazing in 2nd, and Iris looked better than ever in 1st!!! Her new hair style does wonders! I went to the night show with My friend KD. We had 4th row seats!!! Thanks to Jay Cutler! Man, I was sitting there watching the women's routines and my eyes started to tear up. I'm telling you, this sport has a special place in my heart!! ...FO REALZ, lol :) I wanna be on that stage!

It's 80 degrees here in North Carolina today!!!! I had the air on last night and today I have the windows open. It's soooo nice. I've been unpacking and cleaning up around here today. I should really be outside doing "something" to this grassless-red-mud-yard of mine! Damn! I decided "I" am not messing with it this year. My brother and I did the entire 9 yard buku of events on it last year and yielded exactly what I said a second ago ...A MUDDY HELL HOLE! Guess I should call the yard guy to come out sometime this week. We may have some more bad weather soon so maybe I should wait. Ya, I'll wait considering it snowed 6 inches last week :) My luck, hell will freeze over as soon as I do it. I love plants! I'm not a huge flower girl, but the rich green color of plants makes me happy. They are all over my house. I am not exactly the best plant-mom. They die a lot but I am getting better! I have this cool tree in my living room that I got from Lowe's. The trunk is braided. I can't remember what it's called but I came home from the Arnold last night and the darn thing had leaves lying everywhere on the floor! It was expensive so if it dies then I'm taking it back!! It has a year warranty. My brother had this palm tree he got from Lowe's that had a BAD life. It was always depleted and sickly looking no matter what you did to it. It had been about a year since he bought it so he drug the pitiful thing back and they gave him a new one. I was like why didn't you do that 364 days ago??, it looked like he pulled it out the trash! I laughed so hard every time I saw that ugly thing. I also left my used shaker cup (AKA shakacup for those of Species, lol) in the sink while I was gone and it was the worst smell in the world when I opened it!!!

Anyways, today is DAY.1 of my way to the USA's! HELL YA! I'm excited about my prep and training this year. It's gonna be amazing. I can already feel it. Of course we all have bumps in the road but I'll worry about those when I get to them. I trained arms today and the intensity was refreshing. I'm a little bit too excited about this year ...I'm already so anxious about everything! Or maybe I just drank too much of that extreme Redline! Yea yea, I know they're not good for ya but I drink them religiously ...I'm not perfect :)

By the way, I can finally get my hair in a cute little ponytail!! I've been waiting forever for this!! I tried a few weeks ago but it wasn't quite long enough... looked so ghetto... but now, it's hot! :) I'm also trying to stay away from acrylic nails!! They have ruined my real nails for years now! But I still insisted on getting them! So I'm trying to grow mine to look nice and pretty. I'm having fun with bright colored nail polish too. I bought some neon pink, black, and of all colors, yellow, today. i grilled out today too. Food is weighed, put in containers, and ready to eat for about a week. I hate cooking every day when I'm dieting. I usually prepare a weeks worth at a time.

Alrighty, I gots to go pick up Deezy from my Dad's. He kept her while I was gone. I think I'll take her by the park on the way home. Here she is in the snow last week. Isn't she cute?? I love 'er to death :)

I love you guys and I'm going to keep you updated more often than in the past. Trying for 2-3x a week - So we'll see :)

2009 is the year

2009-02-19T23:34:00.003-05:00

Happy late Valentine's Day!
I had a wonderful Valentine's Day! ...Spent with the most amazing person in my life, my Mom. Your Mother should always be your #1 Valentine and love of your life!! I know mine is. She is more than I could ever ask for.

I'm a very discrete kind of person and usually keep to myself quite a bit but I want to share with you that I AM competing this year and I AM competing at the 2009 USA's held in Las Vegas on July 25th. I have been, still am, and will continue to prepare myself mentally and physically for this journey. My heart and determination have taken me wherever I have wanted to go in life thus far and will continue to do so. There are things that need to be accomplished and the time is now. With a free spirit and mind, and a clear road ahead, I'm prepared to succeed. I want my fans to see the Britt that they have been waiting for, so wait no longer, she's on her way :o) 22 weeks to go......

I want to tell everyone about a friend of mine that is going through a hard time. 99% of FBB's know of him through his generousity and long-time support to female bodybuilding. His name is Jason. He and his family are battling some things that he has asked for our prayers. So if you would, please keep he and his famly in your prayers. It would be very much appreciated!

Alrighty, it's waaayyyy past my bedtime! I've been hitting the hay around 9 or 10pm every night and training at 6am! Tomorrow's training isn't until later but I'm sooo tired so I'm off :o)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
All my love,
b

Me here

2009-01-27T03:02:00.004-05:00

Hi Guys,

It's late and I'm just sitting here at my computer thinking about so much. Do you ever find yourself thinking and daydreaming only to realize 30 minutes has past? I do it often and the idea of writing during that time is appealing to me. Tonight I wrote as I thought. Still thinking, I decided to stop and turn to page one. As my eyes gazed from line to line I realized how cool it is for one to be able to express themself, and maybe in a way that they wouldn't normally. You can really get to know yourself. Do you know really know yourself? There is more to me than I sometimes let myself see.

I have been cleaning up my diet and such for the first weekend of March; the Arnold Classic. I will be appearing at the SPECIES booth signing pictures and posters. I am very proud to say that I am sponsored by SPECIES Nutrition. It's flattering to know that someone wants you to represent their company. I believe in SPECIES products and have used them for over a year now. I will proudly sit my apple bottom at their booth at the Arnold Classic! I recently have had my two magazine write-ups from 2008 framed. I can just stand and look at them for hours. The feeling that I get, the feeling of accomplishment, embraces me and makes me feel so good. Since I was 12 years old, when I started training with weights, my dream has been to take weight training as far as the man above would allow me. So it really hits me hard when I think about Bodybuilding and possibly my future in Bodybuilding. The way that Bodybuilding takes my breath away, so do other things in life. Having a family and coming home to a house full of love and pure happiness is one of those other things for me. Bodybuilding takes great dedication and determination as does a family. I believe that those who live truly happy lives, have balance. When it's my turn to experience this, I want balance. I think about this often and sometimes think that I can't have both. I feel like I have to be all or nothing. Three things I want are balance, trust, and love. I believe those three things equal happiness. The reason this is on my mind tonight is because I watched The Bachelor earlier. Wow, are some of those girls sane? I have to admit, Jason is a keeper! Anyway, it's funny how all this came from that!!

So on to my "pain" ...My knee is acting crazy with every step that I take! I decided I was going to start running for a portion of my cardio; And I did. Thirty minutes on day one, twenty minutes on day two, and that was it. Done. No more. Finished. Negative. I'm guessing my weight is beyond my running capabilities at this point. So I've been limping around while connected to a heating pad and smelling like menthol. The bad thing for me at this moment is I AM going snowboarding Friday, damn it. Ha Ha Ha. At work we planned a day's skiing trip for Friday. I'm doing all I can to be healed by that time. It's crazy because it doesn't hurt when I do the stepper, it just hurts when I walk. I will let you guys know how leg day turns out tomorrow!

It's bedtime for me. I have to turn the heat down before I go to bed. I like it COLD when I sleep. Which reminds me, I want to go camping!! I'm going to talk someone into going camping with me! I don't care if it's in my back yard!

By the way, GO STEELERS!!!!

Goodnight!
XOXO

Sitting here messing on the computer - I love music and just hanging out and listening. I found a group on You Tube that is pretty dope and has got some talent, or what I call talent anyway. So here is a video by them that I really like. It tells a story that probably only a few of my closest will understand. I could follow this video with Nelly Furtado's "I'm like a Bird" but anyway... Hope you enjoy. All my love. If that wasn't a cliche, I'm not sure what is...
Off to the gym..

Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-25T12:19:00.008-05:00

Here I am writing to Santa my Christmas wish for SNOW!!! (and something else :oP)

AAAnnnd it didn't snow :( and that's what I really wanted!

At least I don't have to work! For the last 2 years, I have worked Christmas and the Eve, and New Year's and the Eve... It feels great to just spend time with family.

After my Grandmother's family get together last night, we came back to my house and baked all the candy and treats for today - and played Guitar Hero all night. My nephew was checking the internet every 5 minutes last night on the "Santa Finder" site. SO CUTE!! Santa was in Brazil the last time we checked before my nephew went home to sleep. My nephew is 7 and he progressed a lot on Guitar Hero last night; He was actually playing without looking at het keys! He's so smart! He's in the 1st grade and is on 3rd grade words in school. He's getting a Wii from Santa and I can't wait to play it!!! He's into Under Armour so I bought him a hoodie and some arm bands which he'll love. He's also a football wiz ...Anything and everything about it...you ask, he'll tell. It's so funny! He and I have so much fun together ...but he plays rough!

I am getting ready to go to the movies to see YES MAN ....It's gonna be so funny! I hope anyways. I love funny movies. Then I want to see Benjamin Button and Marley and Me also....

I have my immediate family gathering tonight at my Mom's. We're grilling out and having a few drinks which is always fun. This morning we had breakfast here at my house. Deezy was SO wild. My bro Brandon brought his dogs over here and they ALL tore up jack shit!! lol. I can't wait to sweep and mop!!!

I just wanted to stop by and say MERRY CHRISTMAS and I love you guys!
Be safe and have Happy Holidays!!

Warm rainy day

2008-12-17T00:30:00.003-05:00

Hi!!

It's been a rainy day today and unusually warm .....I like the cold :o) NOT that I actually turn my heat any higher than 65 degrees ...but just the thought of winter time and snuggling up on the couch in my ugg bedroom boots with my Deezy, oh ya, and drinking hot chocolate :o) The only thing that could make it any better would be SNOW!! I love the snow but it's pretty obvious that the snow doesn't like where I live. There's been no snow in the last 3 years! I remember when I was little, my neighbor and I would get all our snow gear on (t-shirt, long sleeves, sweatshirt, small jacket, coat, gloves, more gloves, and hats - God forbid we get cold!!! lol) and we'd go to this big hill back in the woods with our sleds and have a blast. Those were the good days! My Christmas wish is for it to snow! So if any of you have SANTA connections... Please tell 'em that's what I want!!!

I train legs tomorrow so I ate my usual once weekly pizza tonight - and I tell you it was great! Thin and crispy crust pepperoni from Domino's is my FAV!!!! With extra pizza sauce for dipping :) My Mom and I have been meeting at the gym and doing cardio most every day. It helps us both to do it if we go together. I don't usually do cardio in the offseason but I decided that I wasn't going to get fat this offseason - So I'm doing a little.

Alrighty ...I can't wait for Christmas as it's my FAV time of the year! I like listening to Christms music and dancing around the house in my bedroom shoes singing the songs, LOL ....What a sight, huh?!

Pics are from late October in New Jersey...

Have a great night guys,
I'll be here again soon...
XOXOXO

PROMISE YOURSELF

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel they are
unique and special people.

To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best,
to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success
of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press
on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger,
too strong for fear and too happy
to permit the presence of trouble.

~Unknown

PROMISE YOURSELF

XOXO

Just wanted to say Hi. I am starving!! lol. I can not wait to just indulge myself in cookies and ice cream!!!! ahahahah! Other than that, everything is going great. I haven't really been doing much lately; just hanging out and relaxing, trying to take it easy. I'm bad about ALWAYS having to be on my feet doing something - So I'm trying to rest a bit more. Training is going really good - staying strong even though the diet is brutal! Well I gtg eat and grocery Shopping. GOOD LUCK to ISABELLE TURELL this weekend at the ATLANTIC CITY PRO where she is making her PRO DEBUT!!!! I believe she and Heather Polisky-Armbrust are the definite future of the MS. OLYMPIA stage - I really really believe that! They have the two most amazing physiques - OH YEAH, and LISA AUKLAND as well ...She is my FAV!!!

Looking....

2008-08-16T17:53:00.004-04:00

HEYLO....

Thought I would let you in on how I am looking right now. This is a picture after training legs today.....

Training is going great right now - lifts are great. Here are a few numbers that I have been training with lately...

Deadlifts - 315 for 5 reps
Squats - 275 for 6 reps

CONGRATS to NICOLE BALL for taking the 2008 NY PRO TITLE and possibly the 2008 EUROPA LW TITLE - From what I hear, it is between she and the awesome JENNIFER SEDIA who I last competed with at the 2006 Nationals. I also saw a few pictures of HEATHER ARMBRUST at 8 WEEKS OUT from the OLYMPIA ...and all I can say is HOLY S*** WOW!!! You go girl....... I also want to root on MELISSA DETTWILLER and MATT BURZACOTT at the 2008 NORTH AMERICANS in 2 weeks......

Well, everyone have a great night and I'll be in touch soon......

xo,

Wats goin oooonn......

2008-08-07T22:59:00.006-04:00

How is everyone??

I'm doing good! Things here have been a little weird lately but I have such GREAT people in my life that would do anything in this world for me - and I am so greateful for that. I just want to say thank you to those people that are so important to me - You know who you are. I have been really big into church lately. I have went pretty regular my entire life until I began working - I was then working many weekends and was unable to attend ...But now I can go all the time. It really keeps you moving in the right direction in life - makes you also realize what is really important and what, in the big picture, is no big deal - I do believe that with God you can do anything - and that is where my heart is....

Been doing some shopping this week - I bought some MAC makeup and I absolutly LOVE it ... Everyone always talks about it but I never really thought I'd like it ...WELL I was wrong. Way wrong - LOL - Every girl should have some MAC makeup!! I've been losing a little weight lately so I bought some new clothes too....

Here are a few pictures where you can see my new hair.... I cut it like 5 times!!! Think I'm good now :) ...BUT now I have to let it grow :o( pfffttttt!!!!

Will keep in touch and will talk soon...

XOXOXO

What's up all?!

It's getting to be warm nice weather here and I'm lovn it. I like the cold at first of winter but I get bored with it REALLL quick. I'm ready to lay out at the pool and go around in shorts and tanks ...that is, once I get my butt in shape, lol.

Lately I have just been runnin around in circles it seems. I havn't been on here in forever, which I'm sure I dont need to remind you. I have neglected webcam (sorry :-( and especialy my email!! People get so mad at me because I am so slow to respond via email. I'm a busy girl. I do have a J-O-B and I am trying to stay in the training groove. So if I'm sluggish in that area, please forgive me!!

I started a new job!! I am now working in the SICU; surgical ICU. OMG... I ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT!!!! I stayed on a Med-Surg floor for almost 2 years. I never knew the life off that floor. Needless to say, I will always be an ICU nurse fromm here out. So much more my speed and style!! You have so much more autonomy that it's just rediculous. You ARE the patient advocate and pretty much make the calls for your patients health. It's awesome. Although I do miss my BONBON (secretary on my old floor).

So as a lot of you have let me know ...I have an HUG SPREAD in the April issue of MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT!!! How exciting!! Starting on PAGE 274-281. CHECK IT OUT!!!! Awesome shoot with Per Bernell from November after NAtionals.

ALSO... I am in the April issue of IRONMAN. PAGE 275. A smaller insert with a competition picture from Nationals. AND ...LISA BOUSHARD is on PAGE 266. I had the privlidge of meeting Lisa at the Arnold this year! She is such a sweet and cool girl and is currently training for the 2008 JR USA's which I hope to be able to attend. She is looking BOMB at 9weeks out now!!!! I believe she will do very well!! Here is a picture of Lisa and her hubby, Joe. I had a blast with these 2 at the AC!!

This wasn't just a one time thing, haha, it was more like every meal!!! For me anyways, ie LIL MISS PIGGY!!

I am in the process is fencing in my yard for Deezy. She needs somewhere to run free when I'm out. But you wouldn't believe the prices. They are outrageuos!!!

That's all for now,
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!!

XOXOXOXOXO

Good Times...

2008-01-16T02:49:00.000-05:00

Taking things day by day here - Live and learn - I'll be the first to admit that I ALWAYS learn the hard way, LOL. It's my nature I guess. I don't come off as the type that lets others walk all over me - but sometimes I do - and I'm not doing it any more. I've had enough and I've learned. Like I said, you live and learn and true friends are very RARE these days!!

I have been working and just hanging out. I've got the itch to go back to school! I think I am applying to start back in the Spring - maybe - not sure if I want to go back to CRNA school or Nurse Practioner school ...such a hard decision. CRNA is #1 but requires much more before applying. I wouldn't be able to apply until the Spring of next year (2009) and then probably wouldn't get to start for 1-2 years later (2011 maybe) then I'd be in school for 2 years. Nurse Practioner school I could start in the Spring of this year (if accepted - 25 people per year accepted) and be finished in 2 years ...sooooooo dunno just yet ....so I;m just having fun right now until something sparks my interest ...Here is me and my friend Meg before going out the other night. It was so funny - we learned the Soulja Boy Dance, LOL ...freaking hilarious!!

The year is starting off good for me. I am going to be starting Boxing lessions (which I LOVE) - I was kickboxing a few years ago with a past world champion, Randy Smith. But went off to college and unfortunatly stopped :( But I miss it and have been wanting to get bk to it. When I went to LA in November I went to Randy Couture's Training Gym, that really made me want to get back into it. It's sooo fun and it's a hellova workout!

Here is my new BABY!!!! OMG I LOVE IT!!! CHECK IT OUT ...2007 CBR600RR - IT'S SICK!!

Alright guys...Gotta go to sleep

LOVE YA!!

B :-)

What a nice day!!

2008-01-05T12:59:00.000-05:00

It's such a nice day here today; warm and just a little windy. I love it!! ...It will probably get really cold later today and tonight as it usualy does. I wish it would snow!! I worked New Year's Eve so there was no partying for me ...We toasted the new year with our sparkling cider, lol. Went out with the famly last night and had a few beers with dinner. That's always fun.

I have my first professional bodybuilding SPONSOR!!!!! YAY!!!! Dave Palumbo with his fairly new line of supplements and clothing has sponsored me! Seems so crazy. I never thought this day would come. I got my SPECIES warm up suit in the mail the other day by surprise ...I was so excited, lol. My first reaction was ...Man, I hope my ass fits in these pants, hahahha!! And it does so no worries :) I wore it around the house and then to get my hair done. I'm proud of that thing. My hair is still dark with red highlights. I really like it. It is soooo long. I like that too.

Here is the link to my profile on the SPECIES site...

Training is going well. Back into things not 100% just yet, but it is coming. Preparing for 2008. Diet is starting to clean up and I'm starting to train very heavy. OMG ...I did legs hard and heavy for the first time on MONDAY ...Today is FRIDAY ...and I am still tip-toeing around. Still cant squat down, lol. Within all the pain there is a good feeling as well.

I am going to visit my friend Holly at the beach in a few weeks ...YAY!!! She's so crazy we always have a stupid fun time. Then I'm back in Oklahoma to train soon as well. OK guys, That is all for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful new year!!! Oh yea, and I about forgot my new years resolution ...To find the love of my life!!!! HAHAHAHHA, JUST PLAYING ...My New Years Resolution is to find something new, anything, and accomplish it with excellence. Don't know what it may be but I'm in that state of mind; Nursing, BB, relationships, religion, sports ...anything.

If anyone has questions or comments please email me from my website, www.brittmiller.com

I will leave you with this... I think sometimes we all feel this way...

THE PERFECT FRIEND
-- Shannen Wrass --

Today I found a friend
who knew everything I felt
she knew my weakness
and the problems I've been dealt.
She understood my wonders
and listened to my dreams,
she listened to how I felt about life and love
and knew what it all means.
Not once did she interrupt me
or tell me I was wrong
she understood what I was going through
and promised she'd stay long.
I reached out to this friend,
to show her that I care
to pull her close and let her know
how much I need her there.
I went to hold her hand
to pull her a bit nearer
and I realized this perfect friend I found
was nothing but a mirror.

LOVE YOU ALL...
B :)

What's up!!

2007-11-28T23:46:00.000-05:00

Hello :)

I am back home now - All settled in my cozy little house. I was gone for a total of 4 weeks! I was in OKC for 2.5 wks training - then Dallas, TX for a half a week for my competition - then LA Cali for a week doing photo shoots. So after all the plane rides across the country I'm back in my hometown in NC.

What can I say ...I AM ECSTATIC!!!! I placed 2nd in the LightHeavyWeight class - coming in a 132LBS. 8LBS heavier than last year when I struggled to make Middleweight!! 8LBS!! I didn't realize that I had even put on any muscle this off season. I trained hard and ate ate ate but guess I just didn't see the progress until contest time. I believe there were 19 competitors in my class - Of which ALL looked amazing. The entire show this year was great! Such great competition.

Prejudging... all proceeded onto the stage. Quarter turns ...and off the stage we go. Then we all do our 40 second mandatory routines for the judges. All back onstage together. Call out the top 5 in numerical order to go to the center of the stage. YAY!! I was in the 1st call out - top 5. Along with Kristy Hawkins, Karen Choate, Elena Seiple, and Amy Neal. I was in the middle to begin with - between Elena and Kristy ...Then they moved Kristy to the middle ...Then they kicked me and Kristy off the stage, ahahaha, and they continued with the comparisons for the placings. So ...that told us all that Kristy and myself were the top 2 ...But who was 1st and who was 2nd????? We didn't know. It was such an honor just to be in the position that I was in at that moment. I was honestly speechless ...Butterflies all day. I relaxed for the rest of the day - preparing myself for whatever might come my way that night. Knowing already that I had achieved so much - no matter the outcome.

CONGRATULATIONS to Kristy Hawkins - She brought her best to the stage and received the best in return. What a success. She told me that she wants to petition for an invite to the Arnold Classic - so awesome. She will do great! She is such a sweet girl - very quiet. She is about to have her PhD which is even more amazing. I know how difficult is was competing when I was getting my Bachelors in nursing school ...I can imagine how intense her life must be preparing for a contest while pursuing her PhD. If you want it - You will get it. I believe that. Congratulations again to Kristy!! Onto the Pros!!!

This year has been amazing - With so many amazing people in my life. To start ...My Mom has been by my side through thick and thin since the very day I was born. Never has she turned her back on me ...never. She has been to every show I have competed in since I began at the age of 13 - 10 shows total, I believe. I love you Mom! My Brothers have been by my side - always there for me if I need them. My best friends are always encouraging me and are always there for me. Cindy came to Nationals last year and my friend Holly came to support me this year. Thank you Carrie Ledford and Sherry Smith for all your help and encouragment ...I love you guys! My trainer and awesome friend Howard has put up with me for 20 weeks straight!!!! Lol. I love him so much. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to share this journey with. I can't explain how awesome he is ...The guy sleeps with his phone! 3AM if I need anything, he's there, awaiting my call. But more than that, we developed a relationship that I will cherish forever. To succeed in BB you have to have someone (a trainer) #1 that knows what they are doing. But more importantly you have to be able to trust them - their every decision - every call - I have trust issues, lol - but I put all my faith and trust in hHh and look where I am now!! He always says that he just tells me what to do and that I'm the one that has to do the work, hahah. How deceivingly true that is. With hHh by my side, I am so excited to make the best gains of my entire career this off season - and bring my even sharper and more improved physique to the 2008 Nationals stage. Keep your eyes peeled ...you havn't seen the best Britt Miller yet :-)

I have been able to do some awesome photo shoots these past weeks. I got to shoot with the AMAZING David Paul for Dave Palumbo's SPECIES Products and Muscular Development - The wildest most amazing shoot of my entire life!! It was very artistic - I was able to be myself - be free and just have fun. I wish I could show you our work! But it's being held hostage until it appears in the magazine, ahahah. ...Also shot with the great photographer Per Bernell for Muscular Development too. At this shoot I was able to shoot with Evan Centopani and Timea Majorova. They were both so sweet and awesome to work with. Per is a great photographer!! I can't wait to see the products! They are also being held hostage, lol. Although I havn't even seen the pictures from this shoot yet!! I also shot with Mike from Physique-Art again this year in L.A. We shot in an awesome studio. I will post some pics when I get these back. I'm excited to see these too! I did a little work for my website while in Dallas Sunday afte the show. I was so drained and exausted that I really just relaxed for the most part. I LOVE getting my hair and make-up done. Nothing is better than getting up, showering, and just going to the set for your shoot, ahahah. You just sit there and the make up artist does your face and the stylist does your hair and coordinates your outfits, lol, it was soooo great! Hope Zarro did my make up for the SPECIES Ad shoot ...omg, such an amazing job - I looked like a cat!! She's such a sweet girl! The American Idol/Tela Tequila makeup artist did my face for the Per Bernell shoot.

Thank you Dave Palumbo and Steve Bleckman for steering me in this direction!!

Also I will be shooting for FLEX Magazines BODY SHOP Ad next week with Terry Goodlad ...I can't wait!! Then I can eat eat eat!!!!! haha.

Alright guys, I know I left out so much, or it feels like it anyways ...It was just an amazing journey to say the least. I am very pleased with everything :-)

ALL MY LOVE,
GOODNIGHT,
B.

Passed time...

2007-10-30T04:40:00.000-04:00

Britt here...

Hey guys!!!! Not sure where to start here. It's been one hell of a ride these past weeks - or months I should say. There's been ups and downs, the good and the bad. Not always skippy, lol. Mmmm Skippy Peanut Butter, lol, sorry :-) But more good than bad I have to say. I've been extreamly fortunate to have had all the support that I've had this time around - dieting and training. I have a trainer this year. He has been here for me through thick and thin ...through all my crazy thinking. You wouldn't beleive how messed up my mind-vision connection is when it comes to answering a simple question ..."How do you look today?" I've come up with some pretty far-fetched answers, lol. Pretty much everything from the most simple to the most complicated have changed for me this year. Everything except my determination and dedication ;) ...Over the years - first starting out - and along the way as well - it's very hard. To stick to your diet, do your cardio, to NOT have those thoughts of wanting to quit, etc. Now it's like this is a part of me - a part of who I am. It makes me, ME. Yes ...I whine and complain but it's only to make me feel better ahhahaha. It's just good to not have to question yourself everyday about things. Just to be able to get up and do what you have to do without debating. You do what you gotta do to reach your dreams. It's an awesome feeling.

So Anyways... A lot has went on. I've been to Oklahoma a few times to train ...Amazing! New Jersey for a photo shoot. Cindy has been to my house to visit! We had a blast as we always do. I've meet some incredible people. My baby-girl Deezy has gotton HUGE!!!! She's just a baby and her paws are softball sized, lol. she's a mess. My neighborhood has said that I have to get rid of her chain-linked fence b/c they are not allowed. whatever hahaha. Don't know what I'm going to do b/c to fence in my entire back yard with an appropriate privacy fence will be close to $5000.00!!!!! I'd let her stay inside but she's so darn big and sheds black hair like crazy. She makes me laugh so hard. I had her pinned in the yard on a chain - attached to a stake in the ground to let her hang out a little while - while I was cleaning inside the other day. I came outside and she was gone!!! I called her and then heard something that sounded like reindeer bells and santas sley ...lol. She came running around the house dragging along the 20foot chain with the stake bouncing along on the end. I was dying. She's so funny. There is a little white kitten that comes around that she likes to hang out with and play with. It's soooo cute.

Work is stressful. I havn't been feeling well lately so I've missed some days at work. Being worn down is starting to take a toll on my body. I have the best boss at work. She is so awesome. So understanding and willing to work with you. I have wanted to change specialties in Nursing for about the past year but she is the only thing keeping me static right now. And she's so cute too ...she's pregnant. Pregnant people are so cute. I have 2 nephews and a little neice and they are all so beautiful. I love kids and can't wait to have some one day. There's just something about that mother-child connection that I find so appealing. Rikki and Mike (webmaster and his wife) have a new little girl. She's such a good baby! They've done a really great job with her - great parents.

So I have my suits for Nationals! They are beautiful - Thanks to Tamara of Bikini Guru! She does such a great job. Pretty plain this year but that is what I wanted. My body will speak louder than the suits anyways ;) Havn't got jewelry just yet but have an idea of what I want. Posing routine, custom made by Joey :), is all taken care of. Just a little more practicing and It'll be ready to show. Hair is RED now, lol. Always changing. Always will probably ahahah. I can't keep one thing for too long - I get bored with it and need something new or different. I got a new tatoo. It says Eternal Love. Which has underlying meaning to me. It's really means a lot to me. More than what lyes on the surface of the words. Little pieces from my life - growing to be who I am now. It's pretty cool.

Ok well that's a little update for now. Check back and I'll try to keep this darn thing updated ahahha. OH YEAH ...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GIRLIE CINDY!!!!! On Wednesday, Halloween!!!! Cindy is turning 24. LOVE YOU BABE...MISS U!! And oh yea, I had a birthday about a month ago :) I'm 23 now, lol.

ALL MY LOVE,
B :-)

Another Beach Picture...

Just done eating and cleaning the kitchen. I'm sitting here at the computer and I can hear my washing machine all the way in here, lol, it's so darn loud. My little girl is out in her pin. She's getting so big and she is soooooo wild so I have been keeping her outside. I have to be careful when I go in her pin to change her water or feed her because she digs holes - they are everywhere and I've almost busted my butt a few times. I guess she thinks she can dig herself an underground tunnel ...who knows what she's thinking - she's a crazy pup - and I love her to death! I sprayed her down a few times today with cold water since it's been so hot outside - she loves it! Then she rolls in the dirt for the next 10 minutes and gets all muddy. I came home from the gym today and was planning to go to the pool for a little while - Once I got home and ate I decided that I'd just lay out back and tan for a bit. Glad I didn't go bc I stayed out there for about 45 minutes and couldn't stand it anymore so I had to come in. I got some good sun tho.

I've been dieting a little and doing some cardio. Cardio is sooo brutal, lol. I try to think positive thoughts about it - thinking it'll make it not so bad ...ya, it doesn't work that well. It just seems endless I guess - takes forever. Cardio is always better at the gym cause I can people watch. Here I just stare at the wall, lol. My trophies are right infront of me so I look at those alot - think about the different times I competed and things that happened along the way ...Believe it or not, looking at them does motivate me sometimes. Makes cardio seem worth something ...sometimes, ahaha.

I gotta say Congratulations to Miss Cindy Phillips because she looks PHENOMONAL!!!!! The next soon to be Canadian PRO ...Middleweights are going to be blown away by her 5-foot diesel-stacked-ripped but yet beautiful feminine stature ...I keep saying amazing bc I can't think of any other word, lol, it's the only one that suits her ...She is just amazing ...I'm sure she will post an up-to-date pic before she leaves for Edmonton tomorrow morning ...and you'll see what I'm talking about ...just amazing. She's like 3 days out and as fuller than I have EVER been ONstage, lol, seriously. I don't know how tha girl does it but she manages to NEVER go flat. You take my carbs away for 1 day and I look like wet noodle, ahahhaha. ANyways - this is not about me, It's about Cin ...so go get em baby and show em all that you've worked for!!!! I miss ya! Me and Cin talked this morning on the phone - I was like whats upo, wacha doin ...she said she was doing her last cardio session for the rest of the year, hahah, i was laughing.

Okey Dokey ...Im getting tired - I think Im going to head to bed soon ...that's bad huh - it's only 730 haha :) Sleep is very important to me ... #1 on my to-do list, lol. I'll prob update yas tomorrow maybe with a pic ...I'm getting my hair done ...gonna get something done that none of you have ever seen ...hope ya like it ...hope I like it :)

Love You
xoxo

The Last Pedal
© By Carolann S. Wallace

Perfect as a rose pedal
Watch as it endures
The blooms fight for their life
As they are surrounded by knives
For what they know best
Is the blossom of their hearts
They live in the moment they open
Hopes to achieve, reside in their minds

Pedals come and pedals go
Stop to watch as they appear
Appreciate the colors and smells
Learn from them while they are here
For they will disappear
No more chances do they get
They cannot be forgiven
For they must open and if they don't
It is the end

Some will arise to the occasion
They are beautiful in every way
Every chance they get
To send sweet aroma in the air
To fill the days with colors so fair
But the life is short
Because they opened, they must fall
The fall to death
Conscious of the life they lived
Are they successful or
Do they suffer in agony
as the last pedal falls

Just me

What ups yaw...
just off webcam. i got my nose pierced a few weeks ago at the beach. ive wanted it done for a long time but never had the urge to do it. so i did it lol.didnt hurt or even get sore. not many can tell i even have it. course it was the first thing my mom saw ...she doesnt like it. i dont think she really cares too much for any of my tatoos or piercings but shes cool with them. shes a great mom.

so i have a new roomate now. its a little different living with someone after living alone for so long. im the biggest clean freak now that i have my own place. i walk around picking up tiny pieces of dirt and wiping everything down all the time ahaha. you might even call me a little ocd when it comes to keeping my house clean. never been like that until i bought a house of my own. its true that you respect things that you have to earn yourself- very true. sometimes i feel a little consistant with cleaning but its my house so i have the right to be picky bout it, right?

deezy is growing like a weed. shes prob 25-30 lbs now. i have to take her back to the vet soon for more shots. she gets on my last nerve sometimes. she doesnt listen very well and i end up beating her butt haha. i got her a dog lot to keep her outside now. shes tearing up too much stuff in my house. chewed on my bed!!!!!!! i was soooooooooo pissed ...sooooooo dissapointed that she did that. tried chewing on my blinds, peed in the couch, and chewed my molding in the laundry room. !!!!!!!!! again, i get so upset because i had to buy everything brand spanking new that is in my house. the only thing that is not new are my coffee/end tables that my brother gave me when he moved to his new house. everything else came straight from my pocket. so you can see why it bothers me :)

ive been in a really irritible mood lately. anything and everything sets me off it seems like hahaha. i try to keep my cool but the combo of everything is a little much lol. i started a diet about 2 weeks ago too so that might have a little to do with it too. but anyways ...work is going well. i have my one year evaluation coming up next week so i better get a raise, hahah. if not ill prob be pissy with them too hahah. i got my hair cut and colored this week. a littler darker in the bottom and a little light on the top ...it ok i guess. i want something different but i cant find anything i like- nothing drastic. so i just cut a few side bangs. its a little change.

well thats all for now its bed time for me. finally getting tired. my sleep schedule is all wacko as usual.

goodnight,
xoxoxox,
B :)

Fun in the sun :)

2007-06-25T11:20:00.001-04:00

Growing well!

Mind boggled

2007-06-16T03:00:00.000-04:00

Things have been sort of weird here lately- My thoughts are all over the place- With everything positive I have going for me in life, it just seems like there is something missing. I catch myself all the time in deep thought- usually starring into space. I think I'm just to a point in my life where I want something more- I mean, I always want more out of life- I'm never satisfied with anything I accomplish bc I know I can acheive more- nothing but a thing ...But ...Everything I've did in life has been for a reason- To know that I can make it own my own- to know that I can accomplish anything that I want to- That is why I built/bought a house ...bc I wanted to know for myself that I could take on that mountain and be ok ...But now that I have did all this, it's like ...now what ...I don't want to keep proving to myself that I can accomplish things by myself ...I've already figured that out- I already know that. I'm ready to move forward and make progress in other steps of life. I'm 22 ...ya that's young- what more could a 22 year old want, right? I have all the necessities of life and so so so so much more- Not that I don't deserve what I have bc I'll be the first to tell you that I have worked my ass off for everything I have in this life ...But there is still something missing ...I just feel a void ...I have made myself happy my entire life ...I'm ready to make someone else happy.

Just had to speak my mind for a few seconds- That's been riding on me for a week or two now... I'm heading to bed so I can get up in the morning...

Goodnight- Sweet Dreams ...And Thanks for listening,

Love,
B.

Early Mornin B...

2007-05-10T07:48:00.000-04:00

HEY guys....

It's pretty early for me- Or it's been an early morning for me... I slept yesterday until 7pm catching up on my sleep. So of course I couldn't go to sleep last night. I trained hams late then came home and ate and watched Tivo-d episodes of Shear Genius and Workout all night ...Finally layed down around 2am after eating a shake ...layed there til 530am got up again had another shake and watched some more tv ...snd I've been cleaning ever since. Oh well, I guess I'll fall asleep sometime today I hope. I have work again tomorrow so hopfully I'll get some rest. I have a lot to do today ...things that I have been putting off forever!!! LOVEthe show Workout ...I think it's halarious bc I know the guy Brian on there ...he is from my home town and his bluntness just cracks me up. He packed it up and carried that with him to LA and on the show, lol, it's reality, right??!! Gotta be real. I'd absolutly love to have a reality show ...some kind of training/BB reality show ...that'd be crazy fun. Especially if me and Cin could do it together ...you know have it be a mix of Paris Hilton & Nicloe Richie's reality show and throw some training in there too ...ahhhh, I'd die, I'd be laughing so hard all the time ...Me and Cin have had some great times together... LOVE YA BABE :)

Anyways, I just wanted to check in with yas and keep ya updated on me. I am currently sitting at 155-160. Trying to gain some good offseason muscle for the future. Eating like crazy! Training hard! ...no cardio :):):):) Gotta love it! Big girls need lovn too, lol. I think that saying is so funny :)

OK ...I'm outty to the gym to train quads... So I can get back and work outside in the yard and around the house all day ...hope its not too hot- guess ill get a tan and have a heat stroke if it is ...oh well Ill deal... LOVE YAS ALLLLLLLL!!

Yours Forever,

B :)

Back to stay ...

2007-05-03T02:26:00.001-04:00

HEY Y'ALL!!!!! ...A little bit of my southern-twang to start with :)

I think I can honestly say that I am back for good ...I have a reliable computer system that I can count on, internet connection is good, and my time/work schedule is pretty satisfying and most importantly, I am ready :) Ready to be back on here interacting with y'all!! So let me aploigize for not updating my blog for the last month ...I apoligize!!!!!!! Lol. No excuses just an apology.

Ill go ahead and address the issue here ...There's been hear-say that I was going to take a few years off from BB/competing; This WAS my intention a few months ago. I was burnt out, not of BB inparticular, but I was just carrying a heavy load in general ...it was a little overwhelming. I was going to just chill out for 1-2-3 yrs and let my body have a break from the intense dieting and training that we BB's all know. I was still training but just not as often and not as intense ...Ya - that got OLD - REAL FAST. So I started back training hard and eating like I should to make gains ...and now I think my passion is back at the level where it needs to be to continue competing ...Anyways, that has been my journey over the past 5 months ...

I have been working as an RN for a year now! Wow ...It's so crazy to me. It doesn't feel like I've had a real job for an entire year, lol. But then agian it seems like so long ago since I graduated ...weird. Work is good. I'm working a little extra as of right now but not for much longer. We needed some extra help on our floor so I signed up for bout an extra day a week...

LOVING the house. I am pretty much all moved in and loving it. Still a few things I need ...Like a bed for the guest bedroom but I'll get it sooner or later. It's so hot here these past few days ...like in the 80's and 90's ...which for some reason just reminded me that I need to wash my car lol. It's a mess - It's really dirrrrty haha.

Sooooo... I am going to get a little sleep but THANK YOU for all hanging with me and keeping it real. I LOVE YOU ALL and thank you, really ...I really really love my fans!!!!!

That's all for tonight ...Nite Nite,
XOXOXOX,
B :-)

Arnold weekend is here...

2007-03-02T00:30:00.000-05:00

Too bad I wont be there :( The last few years at the Arnold were fun; The Expo especially. Seeing all the competitors and the companies they represent is pretty cool. I've always liked seeing the Pro's at their booths promoting their sponsors- I've always wanted to be in their place. Anyways... I'm wishing all the Arnold competitors The Best this weekend. I know it will be an awesome turnout....

On another note ...What did you all think about the Sacramento Pro??!! First off, congratualtions to Heather ...Job well done! Nailed her Pro debut! I'm not sure what I think about the turnout for the Sacramento??!! I understand the 20% rule ...but to my knowledge it is supposed to denote 20% less muscle, not 20% more softness/or 20% less hardness!!!! Bodybuing is hard work to say the least- and for them, "The Comittee," to go and downsize our ending/onstage physique is flat out demeaning ...This is how I feel about it. I know that it takes a hell of a lot of work to become a Pro- meaning that you have to be in tip-top shape, almost perfect, to the T conditioning ...OK, this gets you Pro ...and them once you are there, the rules change a little ...softness is becoming more and more in the demands of the Pro competition. I am not implying this to the female bodybuilders, This is directed to the rules of female bodybuilding- The Pro's are doing nothing but doing what they have to do to win/place on that level- and right now the thing to do that will make you a winner is to come in soft. To me, I think that make female bodybuilding as a whole look like shit. This sport is made as difficult as it is to wean out the ones with no dedication to bringing out the absolute best of there physique. Bodybuilding is the most complicated thing I have ever did in life- I do it because it challanges me, I love disipline and having dedication, i love transforming my body to something almost unreal ...Before you know it, and it's actually already starting to happen, everyone and their 75 year old Mom will be onstage competing in female bodybuilding competitions ...Hey, no hate here, the more the merrier ...IF you have did your part and deserve to be onstage. It's on thing to lose 200lbs and go from a size 38 to a size 16 ...but it's something totally different to lose 40-50lbs and transform your body from offseason shape to tip top onstage ripped hard dry condition and still maintain your feminity. Props to everyone that loses mad amounts of weight ...I help people do this everyday, encourage them, support them, motivate them and even train with them. These people have straight-up dedication and I have total respect for them ...but if we were to put all these people on stage and label them as bodybuilders ...what would bodybuilding be labeled as????? All this stems from the fact that I THINK famale bodybuilding is slipping into the norm. We are suppose to be different than others ...If female bb's can maintain their femininity and still be shredded as hell ...then that should be the norm of female bodybuilding. If female bodybuilders have to become "softer" and "less hard" to get that "feminine look" then that's not FEMALE bodybuilding, now is it? Bodybuilding in general (male or female) is not labeled soft and watered over, it's labeled with the words hard, muscle mass, ripped, shape, symmetry, vascularity and so on ...This is BB and the only line between male and famale bodybuilding should be straight femininity ...NOT softness- If you don't have the feminine characteristics, then coming in less conditioned is not going to suffice for femininity- and this is what I think "The Committee" is trying to accomplish when they are looking for this softer and less conditioned look ........................WHEW!!!!!! Glad I got that off my chest, hahah. So those are my thoughts ...Anyone beg to differ? I would love to hear who agrees and/or disagrees and the reason behind your thoughts...

So, training is going well when I am getting in the gym. Trained back yesterday.

Pulldowns 5-6 sets- max 120lbs for 6 reps

Pullups- assisted- 4 sets with good stretching in between

Deadlifts- free weight from the ground- 5 sets- Max 275lbs for 6 reps

Seated machine rows- 3 sets-dont remember weight- sets ranging from 60-200lbs

Seated machine pull downs- 3 sets- same weight range as other machine exercise

I had a pretty short workout but is was a hell of a workout- I trained shoulders today and I was struggling with my back bc it was so weak. I had to wear my belt while traing shoulders, haha. It really helped though- without it I'd have probably fell out on the floor, ahah.

Seated smith machine presses- 5 sets

bar for 50 reps

10 each side for 20 reps

20 each side for 15 reps

30 each side for 10 reps

40 each side for 8 reps

25 each side for 10 reps

Superset DB side laterals with DB single-arm side laterals ...too many sets to count :)

singles-went up to 30lb DB for sets of 10

together- went up to 30lb DB's for sets of 10

Did burnout set on single-arm laterals- started with 35lb DB and went down to 5lb DB in incriments of 5lbs ...oooouuuuch :)

Front raises with preweighted bars- 5 sets

50lb for 20 reps

60lb for 12 reps

70lb for 10 reps

80lb for 10 reps

20lb for 20 reps

Finished with seated bent over DB lateral raises

20lb for 15 reps

25lbs for 15 reps

30lbs for 12 reps

35lbs for 10 reps

And I was toasted :)

Alrighty folks, I've got to get to bed- I work tomorrow.

Leave yas with a pic from Nationals by Physique Art...

Goodnight,

Man, I miss my bud...

2007-02-18T04:19:00.000-05:00

B :')

What up what up what up . . .

2007-02-09T02:05:00.000-05:00

B here ...
Just chillin at work- So friggin busy tonight- Just now sitting down and finally finished with all my documentation. Sorry I havn't posted lately ...most of you all know what's up around here- most understand my craZy schedule :)

Training has been going well lately ...When I have been able to get to the gym, lol. My strength is coming back- I guess I'm actually getting back into the groove of things- Ya know, training like I should- heavy and intense- and eating like I should ...MOST of the time, lol ...I've eaten shitty for the past few days but it's all good- I actually look a little better- muscles are fuller. Cardio every once in awhile- nothing crazy.

I've been pretty happy lately- actually really happy- Life is good- taking some time to enjoy life and spend time with friends. Life is totally different from when I was in college ...nursing school ...whatever. When I look back, I can really see how stressed I was ...I have NO idea in hell, haha, how I did it ...how I made it ...??!! Class, studying, bodybuilding, diet, training for the NC states/Metrolina/USA's/Nationals, cardio, friends, work, BAD relationships, hahahhaha ...HOW??!! Who knows ...all I know is that I am so so glad that it is in my past :) I'm thinking about going back to school sometime in the near future- but believe that it is going to be 10X easier than it was for me before- I'm much more stable in life- or at least I think so anyways...

I'm supposed to be making a trip to see Mike really soon to work on **NEW** material for my members!!!!! Once our schedules agree it's a done deal- I know you all are ready for some new gym material!! I know I am!
About the Arnold Classic ...No plans for that. I'd love to go but my schedule will not allow me to :(

I'll let you know about webcam when I start that again... for now, it's a no-go, it's brizzzzzzzz-oke, lol :)

Ima get off here and find something useful to do, so I will catch up with all y'all later.

Ok ...Here ya go ... enjoy life, train hard, eat to grow, always be helpful, be a best friend, show respect, give generously, always look forward, never look back, have no regrets, be beautiful, be honest and trust-worthy, always keep family #1, make someone happy, let someone make you happy, and love somebody special!!!!! ...

I LOVE YOU ALL...
B :)

How are yas all?
I'm doing pretty good I'd have to say. Training, work, webcam!!, the house ...everything's coming along nicely thus far. My schedule's been really really full these past few weeks but what's new, lol, I'm always stressed for time :)

First off, I would like to thank you all for being concerned about me and my possible future bodybuilding career ...I really appreciate your thoughts and concerns ;) ...BUT I would like to tell my fans and whoever else wants to listen, I AM NOT GIVING UP OR QUITTING FEMALE BODYBUILDING ...I'm just taking a little break- Ya know, home girl needs a break every once in awhile ;) I have so much going on right now that I think I need to tend to the most important things- like making a future for myself that I know can hold me up and carry me through life. I went to school and worked pretty damn hard for my BSN and now I want to really utilize what I have been rewarded with- without having to be stressed out all the time- Since I graduated in May of last year, and finished with my Nationals Prep in November, I have been soooooo laid back and just "whatever" that it would be insane for me to go and do something crazy like try to compete in bodybuilding this year. I'm young ...I've got time :) ...So anyways, those are my thoughts and intentions when talking about that ...

But one more thing that I was thinking about ... I have competeted quite a bit since my freshman year in highschool!!!! ...That's nine years ...And what amazes me is that I can honestly say, that until this past November/December, I have NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER taken more than 5-6 days off from training in those 9 years ...NEVER!!!! I know your body needs a break every once in awhile but that was a HUGE no-no for me, haha ...I just couldn't do it ...I was so stuck on training training training that I didn't think about anything else. If I missed a day in the gym I'd go insane, it was such a big deal- Now I laugh about that but I still see and understand why I was that was- I was determined to accomplish something- Bodybuilding/training is addictive, very addictive, LOL. Here is what I have accoplished thus far...

1999 (9th grade highschool) Elite NC Show -- competed in figure ...didn't place :(
2001 (11th grade highschool) Metrolina NC Show -- 3rd place lightweight bodybuilding

2003 (Freshman in college) NC States -- 3rd place lightweight bodybuilding
2003 (Freshman in college) Metrolina -- 3rd place figure

2004 (Sophmore in college) NC States -- 1st place lightweight bodybuilding and overall champ

2004 (Sophmore in college) Jr Nationals -- 2nd place middleweight bodybuilding

2005 (Junior in college) Collegiate Nationals -- 1st place heavyweight bodybuilding and overal champ

2005 (Junior in college) NPC USA -- 1st place middleweight bodybuilding

2006 (Graduated/RN) NPC Nationals -- 3rd place middleweight bodybuilding :)

Here is a picture of my very first bodybuilding show ...Well ...I'll have to post them on here later bc it's not letting me for some reason right now?!

Then I will post a picture from 2006 Nationals, my latest show this past November...

I have a few more pictures to post as well since I got some feedback from the last pictures saying that you all really like the "everyday-life" pics ...I have tons of them bc I love taking pictures :)

My friend Holly just graduated from Nursing school in December and is getting ready to take boards so I am hoping to spend some time with her coming up soon- She's a trip, she make me laugh so hard sometime, I love her to death ...we are total opposites but yet get along so well and have an awesome time together just hanging out. We were pratically roomates my senior year in college ...Although she wore my nerves into the dirt sometimes, she kept me sane most of the time ...BUT DON'T TELL HER THAT ;) LOVE YOU LOE!!!!! I MISS YA and your moma and dad!!!! I'll post a pic of us too...

I hope to see Cindy soon, we are trying to book a trip together soon to relax a lil' :) Maybe do a bit for out sites?! Hopefully we can get that lined up.. Love my girl :) Miss ya Cin ...and Neil :)

Alright guys ...I've beenloving doing webcam lately so stop by and see me soon! I'll be on Tuesday night (jan 16) ...See ya there ;)

LOVES YAS!!!!

LOVES,
B :)

Happy New Year!!!!!

2006-12-31T01:57:00.000-05:00

Happy late Merry Christmas to yas!!!!! Christmas was fun as always this year. I absolutly love Christmas time ...It puts you in such a good spirit ...all the lights and cards and music and presents ...i love it! I got mostly gift cards and money. I did get a new pair of Tim's and a really pretty picture for my house. I am so excited about my house. I have been getting to pick everything out this past week. Like the cabinets, floors, lights, paint ad all that fun stuff. I can't wait to move in. We had breakfast at my Moms house on Christmas morning- I layed around all afternoon then had to go to work Christmas night. I tried to sleep some but my nephews were stomping around the house playing basketball. They were soooo wild but at least they had fun. My little neice is such a baby doll, she is so beautiful. SHe was so cute in her Christmas outfits.

The fight was tonight ... Liddel and Ortiz ...I really wanted Tito to win, but ya know, that's not too realistic. Tito's my kinda man ...he likes to get down and dirrrty on the ground, lol. OF COURSE I didn't get to watch it, because I'm here at work ...and will be for new years eve and new years also ...and a few days after that.

I tried WEBCAM the other night but my cam isn't working ...it's always something, right? Now my wireless connection is screwed up ...I hate computers! So until that is fixed, I'll have to use these computers at work whenever I get the chance. I'm excited about starting webcam back up- Seems like it's been forever.

Anyways ...it's now New Year's Morning, haha, I wrote the first part of this post last night but had to save it as a draft and finish it tonight because I got really busy and couldn't get back to it. Tonight has been a little crazy also but not too bad. I had a new admission around 11pm and got finished with that with exactly one minute before the NEW YEAR. I ran to the conference room with a thousand nurses yelling for me to hurry up and we all toasted to the new year with our non-alcoholic grape juice, hahahaha ...It was cute though.

This year...Hmmmmm, do not know what is in store for this year but I am excited and curious to see what will come about in my life. I think thisd year will be a good year despite the fact that I am not going to compete. I hope to stay fit and just keep my muscle. Definitely do not want to lose any muscle if I can help it. I want to work as much as possible, possibly apply for a traveling nurse position, possibly just switch positions, or maybe just stay put for a little longer ...Whatever happens, I know it will happen as it should. I am ready to settle a little- feels more stable that way, right??!! Random comment coming ... I need to have a HUGE yardsale ...I have sooo much crap that I need to get rid of. I also have tons of stuff from school that I need to do something with ...Like my nursing books, other course books, notes from class, papers that i have written, blah blah blah ...things that I just don't want to throw away but have no where to put them??!! I want to keep them for when I go back to school, but who knows, I guess I just need to chunk them and forget about it.

Anyways, I gotta run, I have some meds to give ....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR THAT BRINGS LOTS AND LOTS OF HAPPINESS AND JOY!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON ON CAM!!!!

LOVES,
B :)

Just a lil pic...

2006-12-15T12:55:00.000-05:00

Everything is going ok here I had a really bad leg workout yesterday. To be completly honest, it sucked! Me and my big man, Adam (haha, just a friend) rode down the road to a Gold's about an hour or so away to train. I just felt really weak from the start. I didn't even go up past 215 lbs on squats, lol. Oh well, another day another workout, right?! Ther'll be more. Then my shoulder started hurting me again yesterday. But anyways, I'm about to go and try to get a better one in than yesterday. So Ima go eat and head to the gym ...Me and Cin finally talked since we were together in Miami ...That's horrible, right?! Ok, see yas later!!

SO MUCH NEW STUFF IN THE MEMBERS SECTIONS ...VIDEO AND PICS FROM THE NATIONALS IN COMPETITION SHAPE!!!!!

LOVES,
B :)

Update yall....

2006-12-09T13:14:00.000-05:00

Hey-Lo to all....
I've got some pics to share with ya ...I have tons but couldn't decide which ones to post first so I blindly chose a few. Above is me and Cin after prejudging and after I stuffed my adorable little face at a local deli in Miami, hahaha. A lot has been going on with me since the show ...I've been working like crazy lately- a little overtime here and there. Not to mention I just bought a house :):):):) Well, it's in hte process of being built but I signed my John Hancock to the papers a few days ago. I'm so excited. But then again I know I will have no time for anything ese once things start rolling with customizing everything to my liking. I'm also thinking about relocating to a closer workplace once everything is setteled with my house. Convience, ya know??!! Hmmmmmmmm, the gym- I am getting ready to head there now and train. I have been combining my workouts since I am only able to get in there 2-3, sometimes 4 times a week. It just depends on my schedule- It changes from week to week. I'm trying to do cardio whenever possible but it just doesn't seem to be working out as I had planned. Since I can't train as much I wanted to eat a pretty balanced diet as well as hanging with cardio for awhile ...I'm trying but (as my coworkers always say....) I'm "splurging" ...haha, lol. I love my co-workers, they are the absolute best individuals to work with and I really mean that. Always willing to lend a helping hand. Anyways, here are some more pictures and I will have more later and there are tons more coming to MEMBERS SECTION!!!!!

****WEBCAM TONIGHT**** See yas there!

...LOVE YAS, B :)

So much to tell...

2006-11-24T00:28:00.000-05:00

Starting with a BIG Whatssssssss Uppppppppp to all of yas....
Hope your all doing well and still loving me reguardless of my MIA status :) I know ya do. Let me say Thanks to everyone who supports the greatest sport ever, bodybuilding. It was so awesome to have you all by my side and rooting me on throughout the entire process of preparing for Nationals. This year was a little different with work and all in the mix of things but I managed and still came out on top ...I am exstatic to say the least reguarding my 3rd place finish in the 2006 NPC Nationals middleweight class ...I said "exstatic" ...NOT satisfied :) But that's me for ya. Wednesday around lunch time I began carbing-up, weighing about 123lbs. Which is a little risky for me because I never start carbing up until after making weight at early weigh-ins. We left for Maimi Wednesday night, driving, and got there Thursday morning around 11-ish. It was definitely an experience ...pissing every hour along the way of the 13 hour drive, everyone falling asleep leaving ????? to drive, and as you can imagine with 2 bodybuilders in the same car- it didn't exactly smell like roses, lol. Once we got there, we checked in our rooms and all of the sudden everyone was wide awake, so my family went out on the beach for awhile while I showered and washed my hair for the last time until Saturday night after the show. After I was all cleaned up I started putting on my protan, which after 4 coats between then and prejudging (2 days), was still not dark enough. I ended up putting on 2 coats before I went to early weigh-ins that night. Nervously awaiting the time of weigh-ins, my belly continues to yell at me wanting something to eat. I hadn't eaten in about 10 hours just to make sure that I would make weight at early weigh-ins. When we arrived at weigh-ins the men were still going through their line-up so of course there are millions of bodybuilders and people waiting around in this muggy/stinky hallway. After 2 more hours (12 hours of not eating) Middleweights were finally called to line up and weigh-in. Out of 19 Middleweights, I was the third in line to step on the scale ...Not even looking at my surrounding opponents, I make my way to the scale to only find out the I am 3 LBS OVERWEIGHT ...HOT DAMN!!!!! 128 ...the woman was like step off the scale, blow all your air out, and step back on ...congratulations, you gained 1 LB ...129 ...WTF ...blow all you air out ...How about go to the bathroom then come back and step back on ...that's more like it ...ANYWAYS, Not saying a word, I stepped off the scale just as the show panel says to me you'll make weight no problem in the morning, Britt ...Smiling, I say I hope so :) Next morning (Havn't eaten for 24 hours)step on the scale and weigh 124.75 ...THANK GOD for fractions. So I've made weight and now I can restart the carbing up process. That just goes to show you just how depleted I was before I started carbing up ...gained 5LBS from wednesday at noon to thursday night just from carbs ...not to mention probably a little cortisol too considering I hadn't slept in about 36 hours. Anyways, I had a wonderful meal Friday night before prejudging Saturday morning ...Me finishing up my HUGE piece of cheesecake that Cindy had to help me eat ...OH YEAH, MY BABY GIRL CINDY ...Cindy got there Thursday night actually. That's a long story too ...Her flight was late, her text messages didnt go through, I fell asleep and my friend Adam went a picked her up. Cindy had never met Adam before ...Adam is a character :) ...and she ends up going out to eat with him and staying in his room that night because she didn't want to wake me or my family up ...Adam's a nice guy though, I wouldn't have sent him to get her if he wasn't. I would have been like who the fuck is this guy ...but Cin was cool with it. The next morning before the last weigh-in, I go up to Adams room and jump on Cindy and wake her up ...I was so happy to see her ...She's my bestest bestest friend :) We're so much alike it's insane ...I think we started getting little attitudes with each other by the end of the trip, lol. She's my girl though, we had a blast. I swear we ate at least one of every kind of food possible in Miami ...we were 2 little/big fat cows walking into the airport when it was time to leave Miami, lol ...with huge distended bellies. OK, there is sooooooooooooo much more to tell but i am getting sleepy so I will continue my story tomorrow ...I will add some pics tho ......
LOVE YAS,
B :)

Lil Update...

2006-10-16T04:00:00.000-04:00

Hey guys...
I just wanted to update yas a little about the past few days... I was a little sick over the weekend. Had to leave work a few hours early on Thursday morning ...not long after I wrote in my journal. I was so lightheaded and just started feeling sick all over. I thought I was maybe getting the flu, as it is flu season and I am in the hospital 50% of the time ...But I guess it was just a little bug bc I am feeling ok now ...

Well, That 1/2 way explains why I didn't post pictures of 4 weeks out ...Now for the other 1/2 ...OK, so... everything's going along great with prep for Natinals and all- And it is concluded that I need to do something different this year with my diet and cardio ...something drastically different :/ Yea, so I'm doing it ...So far, so good, in the manner that we are seeing what we expected. It's just scarry bc I hate change and like to stick with what I KNOW works, ya know??!! Anyways, I'm making it and am PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING that I come in looking better then ever now that we have made some crazy but logical changes in my prep ...I'm looking forward to seeing what I look like in a few weeks!!!!! I know Nationals is going to be awesome this year ...SO so so many awesome/top competitors will be competing and bringing their best to the stage. ANd that is all I want to do ...Bring my absolute best ever physique to the stage. If I can do that then I will have accomplished what I set out for!

So ...for now, no pics ...but soon, real soon ;) Less than 4 weeks to go!!!!! I can not wait to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! And the time that comes after the show is going to be soooo much fun! Amanda, I'll email you about where we are staying ...We'll all definitely have to get together and go out for some food and FUN!!!!!!!! And Miss Cin ...I can't wait to see you!!!! Hurry and get your Airline ticket girl, for I have to kick your boo-tay, haha, yea right ...But you know everyone would like to see us braw ...haha, sorry guys, not gonna happen :)

LOVE YAS ALL!!!!!
B :)

4 Weeks Away from the divinity of FOOD!!!!!

2006-10-12T23:41:00.000-04:00

What's going on peeps...
Im just taking a seat at work for a few. Just done eating and feeling great about now. I had a huge bacon-cheeseburger earlier today and it was just what I needed. My energy and fullness are restored, lol, and will be for a good little while hopefully. Always does the trick ;) I was going to take a pic before and after the burger today but was too excited and completly forgot, haha. The difference is just amazing though! So crazy what some added fat in your diet can do! Anyways... On another note...

ME AND CINDY ARE REUNITEING ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!! In Miami :) We booked our flights and hotel last night and are stoked about getting to meet up snd chill together for almost an entire week! I love my girl! I'll pick her up from the airport after weigh-ins at the show ...Then on Sunday my family is leaving back for home but me and Cin are staying for a few more days to go out and have a little fun! I'm sure we'll have some great stories to tell and pictures to show yas after returning home, lol. We always have a blast together because we are so entirely alike...

Well, I am taking pictures tomorrow of 4 weeks out from Nationals so I will be sure to post a preview of that! I am so excited about the show ...It's getting so much closer sooooooo quickly!!!!! It's great! I'm just ready to get back in the groove of everyday life ...Not that it's too much different from now but it is somewhat different with the diet and gym schedule of course. I can be less paranoid if I miss a day at the gym or miss a day of cardio, ya know ...Now, I freak out if something gets knocked off my schedule or if change occurs, lol, I like getting in the groove and staying there ...I hate change :) Unless it's good of course ...But hey, it's all life, right??!!

OK, ladies and gents, I gotta run ...Time to tend to my peeps here at the h-o-s-p-i-t-a-l :) I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll update this post tomorrow and load some 4-week-out pics for yas ...KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK????!!!!! BE GOOD ...or BE GOOD AT BEING BAD ;)

LOVES,
Your one-n-only,
B :)

Fun day and 6 weeks out from Nationals :)

2006-10-02T12:28:00.000-04:00

Hey-lo guys...

Whooooooo Hooooooooo, my internet/computer is back in comission, lol. Finally! It's been almost a month now since it began acting up. Just finished with AM cardio and a shake- and am about to head to the gym for hammies and maybe a little chest and of course summore cardio ....Gotta luv it.

My room is a little cluttered now but actually looks pretty good ...still very modern. I just added my computer desk into my room which will work very well for webcam when I start that again- which WILL BE THIS WEEK!!!!! :) I have 3 huge floor to ceiling windows in my room so the lighting should be great for that. The room I was doing webcam in was really dark ...It was like "candlelight webcam," haha.

I am a lil under 6 weeks out and am dying for this diet to be over! Work is always having parties and bringing food in almost everyday it seems. Women love to bring snacks and food in bulk to work, it's horrible ...I just try to stay away from it- It's not a problem or temptation for me but it's the fact that they don't understand and like to waive it in my face saying ...Brrriiiiiiittt, don't you want some ....MMmmmmmm ...I just have to laugh about it and joke with them so I don't get an attitude, haha, but I've been close a few times :)

Anyways, I gotsta run so here are a few pictures from Carowinds yesterday ...For those of you that have no clue what Carowinds is, it's like Bush Gardens or Six Flags ...an amusment park. It was a good time and not to mention great cardio all day :)

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
Talk soon,
B :)

Still holding strong...

2006-09-29T01:45:00.000-04:00

Hey Everyone!
Let me start by apologizing for the long absence. I am at work right now and beleive it or not I am actually sitting down with free time on my hands??!! It has been a full-house around here ever since I started. Tonight is the first night that I have not had a full patient load ...and I have actually been able to eat every four hours like I am supposed to, and not every 6 or 7 like I was. So tonight has been a good night- only four patients for me :) I am liking my job and I am pretty use to the mode of things. My body has gotton in the groove of things and has adjusted pretty well. My sleep schedule is all out of wack but I just sleep when I am tired and stay up when I am not. It works well for me, lol :) My quality of sleep has definitely went through the roof! Considering how drained I am all the time, I can lye my head down and be in a deep sleep within seconds- and that is pretty much at any given moment :) That is good though, it makes things go by so much quicker in terms of dieting and training. NATIONALS is coming up pretty soon ya'll ...The excitement really has not hit me yet but I am definitely awaiting the day of the show! So so so ready to step on that stage :) I have to send my entry form in pretty soon ...I think it is has to be in by October 20th. Next Wednesday, October the 4th is my birthday :) Not really anything exciting ...cause I can't EAT anything fun:( Oh well, just more of a reason to celebrate afterwards ...right??!! :) November the 4th I will be ONE week out form the Nationals ans am guest posing with Branch Warren at Quincy Roberts' ELITE Classic in High Point, NC. Quincy has been helping me with my posing for the past few years. I like working with him because he is straight forward, no bullshit. I absolutly love that quality in people. Just be straight up, ya know?! Anyways ...6 weeks out from Nationals and I DO HAVE PICTURES of each week counting down from 11 weeks out but you'll have to wait until I get my internet back up and running at home. I was having computer problems and now my internet is acting up. I started dieting at 19 weeks out. So, I have the pics on my digital camara and I promise you'll see them the minute everything comes together :) Seems like I am coming along as I should but from day to day my opinion changes ...sometimes drastically, lol, which is pretty frusturating and not to mention, annoying, haha :) So, my solution has been to just ignore what I look like, hahahahha, I know I'm doing what I am suppose to be so I know my body has to be responding so I just try not to get caught up in judging my body on a regular basis. I wait from week to week to see what my brother has to say and that is what I go by :)

People had been telling me about this girl that works here at the hospital that I do ...They were like she is big, she's a bodybuilder, she competes, and all that ..So I was thinking, Im going to have to go and see who this is ...Well, some time passed and it slipped my mind. The other day after I came in and was starting to give my first round of medications, I heard a voice behind me say "There you are" ...I didn't think they were talking to be but just by reaction I turned around ...I didn't recognize her and for a split second I was like is she talking to me????!!!! Then I quickly realized that this was no average woman, this girl was BUILT, haha. SO then I figured out that that is who everyone had been telling me about. Her name is Tara Boyd. She was so nice and welcoming to me. We talked for a few minutes but I had to get back to my patients. She told me that she had judged me a few times while I have been coming up in the sport. I'm not really one to show a lot of excitment but I was really excited to finally meet someone locally that is into the sport like I am! She generously invited me to come train at some of the local Peak Fitness centers around the area. I have not had time to call her just yet but I definitely want to get up with her and maybe train or just hang out. Most BB's have so much in common it seems, haha. Anyways that was pretty cool ...

My Mom and I live in a little house right inside town and I really like it. It's so great to be close to pretty much anything and everything you can think of. Well, my Brother and Sister-n-law sold their house the other day :( I love that house soooo much. My brother built it from ground up and really customized everything and put his own touch on everyhthing from the floor plan to the accessories and to the yard and landscaping. It's so beautiful! I lived there for about 2 years I guess, when I was home from school. Anyways, my point is that they sold it last week and it's kind of sad :( BUT the good news is that they are moving in with my Mom and I until they get their new land and house and such ...So exciting :) I'm such a family kinda girl :) I love my family and would do anything in the world for them. I'd usually prefer going out with the fam as opposed to going out with friends. I have 2 nephews and a neice and hopefully another on the way sometime soon from my oldest Brother (the one that I've been talking about). My other brother and sister-n-law just has a baby girl named Kyleigh about 5 months ago ...She's a doll- so beautiful! Anyways, back to the house story ...I basically take up the 2 spare bedrooms in our house ...bc I have tons of crap that I have no where to put, lol. I had my computer desk, tv, tv stand, wooden chair, stair stepper, and shoes and clothes in the spare bedroom ...so now I get to move it all out to the garage, haha. I actually moved the desk into my room so it's a little cramped in there right now but it's ok. We'll now have 5 cars in the driveway instead of 2 and in general it's gonna be a lil tighter, lol. Just a little change I guess but I'm ready for them to move in :) Oh yea, what should be really funny is that we have a house cat and they have 3 dogs, one in which is a house dog, hahahha. It's hilarious to watch those 2 in the house together when they bring him over. The cat has no front claws and the dog is really hyper and spastic which makes it so funny to watch them bc buster, the dog, can't bear to look at the cat, Cody, and Cody will just stare Buster down- This really gets Busters blood flowing and he will get really really jumpy and Cody will end up smacking him in the head ...time after time after time after time, lol, then hissing at him over and over again. It cracks me up!

Ok, so I guess I need to get going ...I will have those countdown pics up really soon ...fingers crossed :):):):)

Congratulations to Miss Cindy Phillips for an amazing placing in the Canadian Nationals 2 weeks ago!!!! She looked so amazing! Hard work shines through everytime ...never fails :) Awesome job baby!!!!! I miss ya and hope you will get to come to Nationals!

I LOVE YAS ALL!!!!!
B :)

Taking a break...

2006-09-09T04:08:00.000-04:00

Hello guys!
I am on my break at work and decided to write a little. My internet, or my computer I should say, at home is so brooooooooke, lol. It makes me really mad but I'll leave my madness in disquise. How is everyone? Not like you can answer me or anything but at least you know I care and asked ;) I am ok. Training and prep for Nationals is pretty fast-paced right now. With work and all, the week to week count downs seem almost like they run together ...Ok, so this was really short but something has come up. I will come back and update this post and write more before I get off work if time allows ...if not, I'll be in touch soon ...9 weeks to go :)
LOVES!!!!
B :)

2006-08-27T23:17:00.000-04:00

Here is what you all have been asking to see ...My progress at 11 weeks out form the 2006 NPC Nationals ...I hope that you like what you see ;)

I have been SUPER busy lately ...Work is coming along gerat! I absolutly love what I do so that suffices when I have a rough day. Training is coming along well also. Sometimes it's hard to get in the gym like I want to, but I manage and get done what I am able. I am kind of in a rut right now with my weight ...It's not moving it seems so I'm trying to get past this little stone in the road ...Anyways, I just wanted to drop this in my blog to keep you updated ...I'll leave you with another pic of me before work one day...

LOVE YOU ALL and THANKS for everyones support!!!!!

Stop by and see my girl Cindy Phillips ...She is 3 weeks out from blowing everyone off stage at the 2006 Canadian Nationals!!!!! LOVE YA GIRL ...You're almost there!!!!!

NightNight,
LOVE,
B :)

Hey Hey Hey...

2006-08-08T01:05:00.000-04:00

Hey guys...
What it be? I'm just hanging out right now ...having a little down time and wanted to get back to my site and blog since I've been so busy lately. I've missed yas!!!! I'm 13 weeks 5 days away from showtime ...so exciting!!!! I swear I sit around drooling and waiting for the next meal that includes carbs, lol. I'm about 150 right now ...Trying to stay ahead of the game- hopefully it'll pay off in the end ...on stage :)

So much has happened I don't know where to start and then I don't even know if I can remember it all. I got a Stair-master at my house now so I don't have to go to the gym everytime cardio is due ...That has been soooooo nice ...I absolutly love it. Sometimes it even gets old though, so I'll go walking outside or ride my bike or something- Keeps it from getting tiring, ya know!? So BIG CONGRATS TO HEATHER POLICKY!!!!!!!! Her physique was right on this year ...no imperfections at all!!!! I thought she looked amazing. Another well-deserved pro card given! I have started my job and I really love it! It's actually a real joy and it keeps me smiling too. It also allows me to eat when I need to and all that good stuff- 12hr shifts aren't that bad ...extra cardio from walking around all day, lol. I havn't been on cam much lately but hopefully that will change soon, once I get everything in line and situated. I have been really slack on taking weekly pictures to show my progress ...actually havn't taken one picture :( I've got to start doing that this weekend ...only 13 weeks left :)

My girl Cindy Phillips has about 5 weeks left until her show ...I'm so excited for her- I know she's going to look great ...Stop by her site and wish her well and tell her how amazing she looks!!!! She deserves it- she's busting her A-double-S ;) ...cindyphillips.net ...I miss you girl!!!!

I have some things that I have to tend to but will talk to you all really soon- I'll let you know asap about webcam times and date ...k????!!!!

Love yas all!!!!

Yes, I have deleted the comments box once again and I want to apologize to you all who come to my site to support me- due to the ruthless comments that have been posted on my blog by the "anonymous" them self. I mean really, the word perfect is NOT in my vocabulary, but seriously ...what is it???? Have I achieved more than you, do I work harder than you, i mean ...is it physical???? ...are my eyes browner than yours or are my teeth whiter than yours ...I don't get it- ...obviously you've got some big balls coming to my site and talking some sort of fictional jealousy while defensively hiding behind the letters a-n-o-n-y-m-o-u-s ...which in this case I believe spells gutless coward. I actually feel sorry for them in that they have no life other than to come to my site to only hate on what I have achieved ...simply pitiful. Those are the ones that need psychological help and ya know if they'd simply ask I'd be so kind enough to give them some sort of reference to outside help, LOL. I hate that people have to live their lives in that kind of mindset ...Any-who ...Enough about the psycho haters ... :) Thank you to all that are by my side year-round and support me for who I am!!!!
My apology is given once again ;)

Weight is around 155 right now ...Been dieting for 2 weeks and a day :) 16 weeks 4 days to go ...not so bad, huh?!!!!! I trained back today and had a really really awesome workout. Getting into the groove of the in-season training and dieting lifestyle. The picture that I have posted is from about a week ago ...I'll post some more along the way that show my progress. I've been talking to Cindy and she is looking great! Girl has about 9 weeks to go I believe. I can't wait to see her onstage ..strutting her stuff, lol. She's working really hard this year and from what I hear has been putting her everything into this competition ...So it will show in the end ...Keep at it girl, your only what you let yourself be ;) (I love that saying :)

Work is great. I love being an RN. It's such a reward when you know that you've contributed to someones wellbeing. It's definitely going to be tough as a new nurse working, trying to get use to that lifestyle while simutaneously starting the competition lifestyle ...but just as I said a minute ago, your only what you let yourself be. I just have to do it, lol, that's all there is to it. When I get frustrated and stressed about dieting and working (previously school) I just remember that everyone else is doing the same thing as I am ...No one has is easy. Believe it or not, it works :)

I have been surfing the web a lot lately, looking at new newly turned fbb pro's and seeing wheat their plans are for the future. I think that Amanda Dunbar has great potential as a pro fbb. This is just me thinking, but I don't doubt at all that we will soon be seeing her on stage as a pro with all the big-time pro's ... it's amazing ...To turn pro and step on stage with the veterans of the sport soon after ...how awesome would that be? I think that she is one of the ones that has the sport of fbb calculated down to the bone ...by the way, for those of you that want to see for yourselves, her website is www.amandad.com ...

Well guys, I have to get to bed ...Oh yea, Bill G ...I've been training calves pretty religiously lately and I even did a few sets of abs the other day ...lol, I was just playing around- I was working out beside of the ab area so I figured I'd do a few sets just to say that I did 'em :):):):) Actually felt pretty good :)

Congrats to my friend C who just got a new job!!!! Miss yas Hun!!!!

Goodnight guys and I will talk to you all soon ...sooner than before :)

LOVES,
B :')

LAST YEAR...

2006-07-07T01:43:00.000-04:00

I couldn't add this pic to the last post for some odd reason so I had to attach it after I posted the journal ...but anyways, this is a picture form LAST YEAR, 2005, when I was 11 weeks out from the USA's ... Whew...After looking at pics form last year ...I've got a long ways to go this time around :)

LOVES YAS,
B.

Good day today...

2006-07-07T00:49:00.000-04:00

Hi yas all!!!

I'm just hanging out looking at the new FLEX mag ...awaiting my last meal before bedtime :) I've had a crazy busy week ...Monday I started my diet, Tuesday was the 4th and such, Wednesday I got another interview set up for next week with a different hospital- just to find out about 10 minutes later that the other hospital wanted me to come in for a follow-up interview on Thursday morning (today) ...And Today, I went for the 2nd interview and no more than 30 minutes after I left the hospital I received a call from them offering me the position ...So in short, I took the position and am cancelling plans for the interview that I made for next week ...soooo, That's been my week :) I accepted the position as an RN on a Cardiac floor whic I think I am really going to like. The nurse manager was super nice and everyone on the floor seemed so supportive. I can't wait to get started. Orientation starts in about 2 weeks :) So exciting :) I had really wanted to hold off and not get a job until January so I could focus on the Nationals ...but considering some of my college loan guidelines, unfortunatly I was not able to do that ...oh well, life isn't always easy but I'll make it :) I'm really excited about the Nationals this year. I really want to see what I can offer this time around. To progress from last year would be more than enough for me ...as long as I can say that I improved 100% from the time I last stepped on stage ...That's quite alright with me. That's all you can do :)

Anyways, I'm heading to the beach for a while since I'll be starting work soon. I can't wait to just get there and be lazy for a few days :) I hate traveling while I'm dieting ...it's such a hastle ...packing all your food is the main thing and it seems like you can't have fun either- bc you can't go out and eat, if you go out to do something fun it just seems like it's drab bc you can't eat, lol. Seroiusly, I'm all about food. I can't do anything without having to stop somewhere or stop something to get me something to eat :)

Training is going well. Deadlifted 315 today for 6 reps- felt really good at the time but after today's workout my back is killing me. It's funny watching me do cardio, lol, I seriously have not did cardio since I stepped of stage at the USA's in July of 2005 ...yea, I feel like such a fatass huffing and puffing on the treadmill, lol :) Oh well, Gotta love it :)

Alrighty guys, I'm off to eat and go to sleep- I gotta full day ahead. Sleep tight and have a great weekend!!!!

I'll be on webcam when I get back from the beach ...be there ;)

LOVES,
B :')

2006-06-30T15:28:00.000-04:00

2006-06-21T18:54:00.000-04:00

Hey ya...
Just posting a pic taken at 170lbs :) this morning before I went to take my nursing boards. It was really hard and brain washing but I'm hoping and praying that I did well ...It's hard to tell :/ I'll find out Friday how I did ...I'm just getting back from that and am about to go to the gym to train back ...So with that said, I will see you late tonight on WebCam ;)

Love yas!

B :')

Howdy :)

2006-06-16T19:21:00.000-04:00

Sup ya'll, lol
Wanted to let ya know that I'll be on Cam tonight but it will be late. I'm going to see the movie Lakehouse tonight and I will get on Cam when I get in ...It'll be around Midnight.

Just got in from the gym ...Nice arms workout since my wrist, finally!, was a little more stable today! I was so thankful it wasn't killing me like it has been for the past 2 weeks. Still couldn't do reverse curls for Bi's, but was able to do nose breakers for Tri's. My weight is rolling around 165 ...give/take a few depending the time of day :)

I called to make an appointment to get my hair done this weekend but she didn't have anything until next Thursday- So I guess I'll have to wait until then :( It needs to be trimmed a little and definitely re-highlighted. Trying to let it grow long :) Never been longer than it is now so Ima try to let it get past this stubborn not growing phase. Thursday will be the day after I take my licensure boards!!!???? So I'm not sure if I'll be in a state of relief, shock, or panic, lol. I've been studying but I've got SOOOOO much more to go over ...As one of my professors use to tell us nursing students "You've got miles to go before you sleep" ...and all the times she's proved us right with this statement, I think this time would be the most promising!!!! I know a few of my classmates that have already taken it and passed ...havn't heard of anyone that failed yet and hopefully I wont. One girl that graduated with me moved to Hawaii and was supposed to take it today ...So I'm sure I'll hear from her tonight :/

Anyways, I've got some chicken on the stove so I need to go tend to that :) Yummy, food :) Can't wait to go to the movies so I can get some goodies :) So, I'll see you guys tonight on Cam around midnight ...Be there :')

By the way, as asked, yes, I have been doing calves on a regular basis and I think they are starting to get some size :) ...That pic on the beach was from May '05 so they've grown a little since then ...I think ...I hope ...yea, they have :)

Talk to yas soon!
Take care,

LOVESSS,
B.

Update for WEBCAM...

2006-06-13T22:30:00.000-04:00

GO TO SLEEP, BRITT!!!! :)

2006-06-12T01:20:00.000-04:00

Up late when I should be sleeping :/ I have BIG interview tomorrow and am really nervous ...I feel like a kid the night before their big first day of school. Hopefully the person conducting the interview hasn't seen pictures of me like the one I just posted :):):):) Went shopping today for a suit to wear for tomorrow and just got pissed off more than anything ...you guessed it, NOTHING fit. Pants were buldging tight in the legs and butt and just hanging off my waist- and the jackets left my arms flying up by my head because they wern't even close to being wide enough or big enough for my arms ...I could get a huge (seriously, like obese) size that would fit like it should in teh legs and back and arms but you could barely see me ...it swallowed me whole :) ...that was a "fake smile". Lol. Anyways, I ended up buying something that was NOT a suit and am going to feel really under dressed and not as professional look as I should. SO, wish me luck ...PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEE!!!!!!! :):):):)

Talk tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes ...
LOVE YA,
B.

Hey-ya!!!!

Late night...

2006-06-04T03:47:00.000-04:00

It's about 4am here in north cac-a-lackie ....and I'm just getting in from a night oout with the girls. I'm having myself a protein shake and typing to you guys. I went out with my sis tonight- we had so much fun, just me and her- it was a blast. I saw soooo many people that I went to highschool with. It was kind of crazy seeing all those kids and sharing our past lives ..Most conversations started with ..."Britt... OMG, I saw your website," Lol ...It was cool. I'm usually a "stay-at-home" girl, ya know, the eat-sleep-train routine, but I gotta start getting out more. I miss hanging out with everybody. At least until I have to start preparing for the Nationals, which will be late July. Then I'll get in the whole "nothing but training and working routine."

Anyways, training hs been going better than good ...it's been great! I'm starting to put on size- eating and training right- and it;s definitely paying off! I love it when I start putting size on! I want to get back up to at least 170 before I start dieting ...and if possible, 175!!!! My highest has been 170 and that was in December of '05. I know I can do it, I just gotta work extra hard!

I talked to Cin for about 1 minute today but I was in the middle of eating with my Mom so I was going to talk to her later in the afternoon ...but we didn't end up talking so hopefully we will talk tomorrow!

Alright, Ima head to bed but I will probably be on WEBCAM tomorrow(Sunday) night around 9pm EST ...So I will see you then ;)

LOVE YAS ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
LOVES,
B :)

Up at the crack of dawn...

2006-05-29T07:44:00.000-04:00

Mornin' ya'll...
I woke up extreamly too early this morning! I have these huge windows in my room that take up almost an entire wall and the sun was shining thru them like no other this morning so of course I couldn't fall back asleep. Oh well, guess I need to get up anyways ...maybe I can get in the habit of getting up early and taking a short nap in the afternoon :) Tha'd be soo awesome- My body would LOVE that! I did that my freshamn year in college ...I would go to my 0800 classes which would get out around lunch time, then I'd get some lunch take it to my dorm, then take a 1-2 hour nap ...ahhhhh, it was sooo great! I'd get up go to the rest of my classes and then go train. Thinking back on it it was so freakin hard but now it seems like it was the life to have. I'm really worried about my how my time schedule is going to be once I start work ...If I work 7a-7p ...I wouldn't get home 'til 8-9 at night ...then I'd only have an hour to train ...hmmm, I'd rather work 7p-7a, get off in the morning, go train, eat, and go to sleep ...wake up and do it all over again. There's no 24hr gyms around here so that'd work much better. This past year in clinicals I remember not getting out of the hospital sometimes until 2 hours after the time that I was really supposed to get off ...Like when we would have new admissions at the last minute or bags of TPN wouldn't get to the floor until shift change ...and you can't just leave your unfinished work for the next shift. I had a really good preceptor and that's one thing that I llearned from her ...Never leave anything extra for the next Nurse to do, start new tasks down to the last minute of your shift and always finish what you start. If that means staying extra to get it done then that's what you do ...Not everyone thinks this way but if you want to be productive and satisfactory then I guess it's what you do ...kind of like doing for others as you would want to be done for or treating others as you would want to be treated ...anyways, enough on that ...Don't wanna think about work til I have to :) I take my boards in about 2 weeks so WISH ME SOME GOOD LUCK!!!!

I would go ahead and go to the gym this morning but today is my day off ...I trained Chest on Friday, Legs on Saturday, and Back yesterday ...and all 3 are hurting equally right now! I can barely walk bc my legs are soooo freakin sore ...I did heavy squats on the smith machine, 2 45's and a 25 on each side for about 7-8 reps ...everything else was the usual ...presses, ext's, lunges, lying curls and seated curls.Chest ws pretty much all incline, only went up to 50lb db's ...Bakc was AWESOME! Hd a kickass back workout ...Started with 4 sets of pullups, deadlifts form the ground w/ 2 45's and a 25 on each side (275) for 8 reps, single arm db rows (which I have a story behind), pull downs, seated rows, and reverse grip single arm pulls ...I was doing my 3rd set of single arm DB rows with a 90lb db ...finished my set no prob, was putting the weight back in the rack and the weight slipped off the other side and landed rigt on top of my ring finger on my left hand ...OOOOUUUCCCHHHH%^%$##@@!$^&&**()))*%!@#$%^&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our weights aren't that rubber stuff, they're freakin solid iron and it urt ohhh so bad! At first, like for the first 30 seconds, I was like ok, I'm fine, I just smashed the hell outta my finger with 90lbs but ya know, whatever, I'm good :) Then this huge black knot and sac of blood rose up off the top of my knuckle ...I swear, it was exactlylike in the cartoons ..like when they get hit over the head with a hammer and a huge exaggerated knot rises up off there head within seconds ...LOL, seriously, that's how it was ...so I went and out it in a cup of ice water for a few minutes and then sucked it up and finished training ...I only had to finished the 4th set of db rows and seated rows. I didn't go up to the 100lb db's bc my finger was throbbing too bad but I did finish with a little bit lighter weight for the last set and did good weight for seated rows and hyperext's. Anyways. I'm not typing with that finger right now, lol, it's a little stiff and bruised/swollen but NOT broken, Thank God!!!!

I'm already hungry again!! I drank a shake and ate some grits when I got up and now I'm wanting something else ...sooooo, Ima go eat again and get to studying for a few hours for my Boards in a few weeks. I'm supposed to be studying a few hours everyday so we'll see how that goes :):):):)

WEBCAM later today!!!! Come see me ...I've began to start putting my size back on!!!! and I'm lovin' it!!!!

LOVES,
<3 B

What a trip!!!!

2006-05-21T22:38:00.000-04:00

Got back from the most awesome trip ever yesterday. Me and Cin had the best time in Vegas with Mike and Rikki! We were really catered to while we were there ...thanks Mike and Rikki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and Cin spent every second of the day with each other; it was sooo hard to say goodbye at the end of the week! We're so much alike, personality and all, that it's just crazy. She's my new bestest friend :) and not to mention new sister ...I swear, everywhere we went we were asked "Are you 2 sisters? You are, right?" ...Of course we told them that we were!!!!!! :) We were starred at everywhere that we went ...but it wasn't so uncomfortable since we were together- Guess it's just odd to see TWO female BB's together considering the way FEMALE BB is dying out now. But we enjoyed the stares, fun stuff :)

Aside of all the awesome shoots we did (tell ya about them later) we pretty much just goofed off and had a good time together! THe first day we were there, God forbid, we decided to go get our hair and nails done at a local salon and spa ...CIndy's hair turned out beautiful! and everything was fine and dandy for me at first- Cin was getting her hair done and I was getting my nails done. We decided that it would be best just for me to get my hair touched up since it didn't really need it ...so i did... and it was the worst mistake ever!!!!!!!!!!! This girl with black hair and blobs of crayon color red in her hair was apparently the one that was gonna do my hair ...ok, ya know, everyione has a diff style, so whatever, go ahead and do your thing ...wel was thatb a bad idea or what??!! I'd say YES! She finished, rinsed my hair, and began to dry it. I hadn't seen it yet but I could tell tha it didn't feel right for some reason ...just weird. Then when it was dry, she started running this crappy ass straightner thru it ...I was getting pissed bc I could tell that it wasn't working and it was just pulling the hell outta my hair ...so she says, OK!!!, IM DONE!!!, HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!! I took one look and flarred up ...I was so so pissed ...This girl was almost reaching that level where you can't take it anymore, ya know??!! So, to make the story more simple and SHORT, I expressd my feelings about my hair and how I thought it was god awful and actually looked gray ...yea, and well she was like lets go outside in the sunlight ...I was lkike NO!!! It looks like shit, light is light, im not blind... and she kept combing my hair and rubbing her hands thru it ..OMG I swear I was about to knock her out ...ABOUT THIS TIME ...Cindy was getting pissed at her too ...I kept looking at CIn and I could tell that she just wanted to bust out laughing bc that girl was making me sooooo mad, lol. Anyways, needless to say, I came back the next morning and SOMEONE ELSE fixed my hair for FREE :):):):)

We trained together 3 times in Vegas. Tice at Gold's and once at Las Vegas FItness Center ...which was absolutly HUGE! It was so nice. We trained arms, legs, and chest and shoulders ...It was great! I wish she was around all the time to be ale to train with! I'm going to see her when she competes in the Canadian NAtionals and hopefully shes coming to visit b4 I start work!!!!!

We ate sooo much food the entire time! we were like lil piggies, lol. Always had some kind of food in our hands :) Mike and Rikki were always laughing at how often we were eating. We went to the new buffet in the Wynn and it was sooo great! SOOO much food. We had a bunch of steak, potatoes, rice, salad, chicken ad to end it all, tons of dessert! We looked like 2 lil bloated blimps when we left there, lol :)

We went shopping at the Fashion Show mall one day and this HUGE striper store another day. We bought soo much stuff at the stripper store for photo shoots but we saved a lot of it for contest-shape. When we were checking out the guy had to ive us stripper names so we could get a discount ...so he called us Daisy(cindy) and Bunny(me), lol, how in the hell did he come up with "BUNNY"????!!!!

We went out to the nightclub Tryst Thursday night. It was unbelievible ...sosos nice and classy. Had a waterfall right smack in the middle of the club! While we were getting ready to go out we were having a few drinks and being our crazy selves ...so we videoed each other around the house acting like we were on the MTV reality show CRIBS ...hahahhaha, it was hilarious!!!! I think we watched that tape like 50x the next day and laughed our asses off. Cin has the tape and I thnk is sending it to MIke to post on out sites ...you'll see our carzy sides and see how alike we really are, lol.

I was going to unpack but am leaving for the beach this week so I figured id just leave it all packed. Ive got shit everywhere! I got my authorization to test in the mail for my nursing license :):):):) This allows me to take the nursing boards to be able to practice nursing in this state. I'm goign to take the test a few weeks after I get bk from vacation. We were told not to make an appointment to go take it until we had studied for 2 weeks straight, 3 hours a day!!!! Man, that sucks, but I guess ill do it, gotta pass, right???!!! Alrighty, well, ima head out for now ...im taking my computer with me to the beach so ill stay in touch and will post some pics from the beach as well!!!! Finally got a new camara!!!!

I MISS YA LOVE YA CINDY!!!! ...or should I say Daisy, lol!!!!

LOVES yaS ALL...

I feel like I've been walking on glass for a few days now, lol. I was surprised, I didn't get sick in the gym but had an awesome workout ...getting back to my old self again :):):):) Can't wait to train back today! It was funny when I got home from the gym after doing legs, I was getting me some fatfree Sherbet outta the freezer for some of my post training simple sugars (gotta luv the offseason) ...Well, I eat it straight out of the container so when I'm done I put the spoon in the container and put it all back in the freezer ...haha, if you can already imagine ...for some reason the damn spoon decided that it wanted to get stuck to my tounge when I went to eat the sherbet off it, so i was chillin with a spoon hanging from my tounge for a little while, lol. Anyways...

GUESS WHAT!!?? Me and Miss Cindy are going to Vegas together after I graduate :) We're gonna do some offseason shooting together. Probably doing some training together too for video ...I can't wait for us to be able to seriously train together! How exciting! It's gonna be soooooooooo much fun ...Can't wait to see muh gurl! AND we are doing LIVE WEBCAM ...TOGETHER ...from VEGAS!! You'll get to chat with us both at the same time! I havn't did webcam in a really long time bc of school but I'm looking forward to starting again in a few weeks! The only bad thing about this trip is that I know me and Cin are gonna shop like craZy!!!! We both LOVE to shop ;) I just ordered some new luggage!!!! I really needed it- It's my graduation present from my Moms :):) Love You Mom!!!!

So ready to get out and start working and I'm really looking forward to the Nationals this year ...I get butterflies in my stomach everytime I even begin to think about it! Just as I sad last year, and the year before that, I ONLY WANT TO BRING MY BEST TO THE STAGE, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS ...100% IMPROVMENT EACH YEAR IS WHAT I STRIVE FOR AND IN TURN IS WHAT I WILL STEP ON STAGE WITH ...This is what drives me :) n-e-ways, getting rid of those butterflies ...

Some of you have been emailing me about the guy I met, lol, yea well, we're just friends ;) I'm ridin solo ...and so far I've found nothing wrong with that, lol ...Although he is an awesome awesome guy! Everything happens the way it does for a reason, right?! Yea, it does. Sooooo, I know I have some other stuff to tell yas but I can't remember it for some reason...

What up

2006-04-11T02:24:00.000-04:00

PICTURE FROM THE MEMBERS SECTION...

What's Up Ya'll ...Just finishing up some late night school work ...My eyes are shutting so I'm getting ready to go to bed but I wanted to post a pic for yas first :)

I had an awesome arm workout today ...Tri's are killin me. Did a little calves too. By the way, for the calve workouts ...I usually do seated, standing, and donkey presses. Something that I have been trying that I really like is 10 for 10. I do 10 sets of 10 reps of which ever of those 3 exercises I choose. Doesn't sound like much, but it's pretty intense. Take about 45 seconds between each set ...just enough time to change the weight. I should be training calves about every 3 days but I have really been slacking lately. I still havn't gained my weight back from being sick. I ended up going from 170 down to 153 in 6 days ...I'll let you do the math, lol, it's pretty discouraging. And those lbs were lost just because I didn't eat for 6 days ...That's so crazy. It's been about a week and a half since I have been better and I am only up to 160. It's so hard to get back up to 170-- And it took me sooo long to get there in the first place ...Oh well, I'll gain it back in time- But I'm still not eating a full load like I was.

This last week has been really good for me- in all aspects- A lot going on but it's coming together well. Still not sure where Ima work but I'll figure that out soon enough. I've already registered for the test I'll have take to get my nursing license- Finished sending everything in today. I have a presentation this week, a test the next week and the one after that, then I have my final ...aaaannnddddd, well, that's it! I'll be done, graduated! (All prayers are still accepted, Lol)

I've got legs tomorrow- and I have a feeling that Ima get my ass kicked- I have a training partner tomorrow and he's none less than an over-achiever, which is awesome EXCEPT on leg day, haha. Nah, I'm playin, Ya'll know I love training hard. I've trained solo for quite a while now but he's such a great guy to train with- It's nice to be able to train with someone that too has a passion for the weights. My legs are still sore from last week. I trained them 2 days after I got back in the gym from being sick, so I had really not trained them in 2 weeks- They were KO'ed after that workout, and still are :)

Alrighty, Ima go to bed so I can get some nuch needed rest ...I'll talk to yas all soon ...

Love Yas All,
B.

Not feeling 100%

2006-04-04T21:40:00.000-04:00

Hey yas all...
Its been an interesting weekend/week for me. I've been miserably sick. All the sudden got really sick Friday night with a bad case of the flu. I've been sick ever since. I missed my Saturday and Sunday CLinicals at hte hospital- which it was supposed to be my last weekend for the semester but now I have to finish this coming weekend- Which in turn means that I will not be at the NC States this weekend :(:(:(:( Sorry!!!! I had planned my work so that I could come home to see everyone and help out at the show- but now it's pretty much impossible :( I thought I was doing better Sunday afternoon, actually talked to my babygirl CinPhillips that night, but then I tried to eat something for the first time and got really sick again. Therefore I havn't been eating, just drinking stupid Gatorade (Uggghhhh :( just tons of sugar) but anyways ...Had to drag myself to school to take an exam Monday morning that I didn't get to study for any after Friday night. Came home went back to bed- got up this morning bc I had to go to clinical- ending up leaving early- came home went to bed- and now I can't sleep anymore aaaannnndddddd my stomach still hurts, bad :( Yes, I'm a whiney-butt but I give myself the right to be, lol, I've been thru hell these last 5 days. Oh yea, I had a flat tire the other day too and had to fix it in the cold, lol- just thought I'd add another little complaint :)

So I havn't been in the gym since Friday and have lost a little over 10 lbs bc I'm not eating. Sucks! really bad. Can't wait until I can get back in the gym and gain my weight back. I wont take long to gain it back but ya know it seems like it takes forever! And I worked so hard to get up to 170 too, even you all know that! Ima try to get back in the gym tomorrow but we'll see how I feel after I get outta clinical tomorrow. Not gonna go back until I feel 100% better- definatly don't wanna get sick again! On a better note ...During all this Bad something good did happen ...I met a hot guy aaaannndndd well, I'm kinda interested :)

As I said before, Me and Cindy talked on the phone the other night ...She's such an awesome girl and we're so much alike that it's just crazy. We don't just have the BB perspective in common but life in general ...life values, you know further down the road. Right now, life is great with BB, but many are asking where is the sport goiing ...that's really not even a factor with me ... I train and compete because it is what I love and that is one thing that will never change; I will always have a passion for BB. Doing well in competition, having a website, having fans like you all, being known for what you've accomplished at 22 years old, just everything ....It's just so great, I love it! But when I think about the future, there is so much more to me than BB. I will always train and keep in shape but the day will come when it's time to change gears. No one knows when exactly that will be but it'll be when I feel like I have accomlished what I have desired. I want to keep my life open to other things aside of BB ..you know, like all the wonderful things in life, things and feelings that can't be replaced ...things like marriage and kids. Just something I have been thinking about lately ...More than likely since I'm graduating and really getting out on my own ...But for now, until that time comes and those things happen, Nursing and BB are my passions ...Anyways, BIG CIN's muh girl, lol, I'm going to watch her compete in Canada at the Nationals in September if everything goes as planned! Love 'er!! If we shoot together, it'll be amazing, we'll both be dieted down :) I'll be about a month and a half out from the Nationals and she'll be all ripped up, lol, can't wait!

Anyways for you that keep asking about the calve exercises ..How about this, Since I have to do calves as soon as I get back in the gym, I'll do a kick-ass Calve workout and give you the low-down on exactly what I did afterwards ...Sound good? ;)

Alrighty guys, Ima get going and try to get some good sleep so maybe I can be all better tomorrow!

Be in touch soon...
Love Yas,
B

For now, weight is still at 170 and strengthis increasing while maintaining correct form ...so, I'll get back to ya probably tomorrow...

In between classes...

2006-03-02T10:04:00.000-05:00

What up yas all?!

I'm just sitting here in the computer lab between classes getting ready to type a paper for this afternoon. I feel like blahhhh ...I wanna go train :( Skipped out on the gym yesterday to regain a little energy- My legs are still killing me from Monday so I wouldn't have been able to train back anyways. I usually take a day inbetween legs and back since I do stiffleg deads for hams on leg day and then do regular deads on back day. I actually trained chest on Tuesday ...Havn't in exactly 2 months. Went well though ...Figured I would have lost strength but didn't at all. I'll prob train chest every few weeks, not gonna focus on it too much this year. Hmmm, what can I tell ya???? Seriously my life has been pretty boring lately, lol. I'm following up on applying for jobs right now. Trying to figure out where the heck I wanna work. Have some places in mind but I'm not sure yet ...Prob end up going where I get the best benefits and overall experience.

But anyways, the NC States are coming up in April, as well as the Metrolina. The States are in High Point this year and the Metrolina in is Charlotte (Both National qualifiers) ...Switchin up locations I guess...Planning on being at both, prob helping backstage with prep and trophies and stuff. Maybe I'll see some of yas there??!!

I've been getting many backgrounds and desktop images made for me ...those are pretty cool ..I'll post 2 more at the end of this blog since I am at school and have no pics to post ...Should be getting my dig cam back sometime soon. I can't wait, then you can see me at 170 ...you ready for that, lol?!?!

Started a lil cleaning up of the diet today ...I've been eating any and everything it seems like ...tons of protein and good carbs first, then about anything I want :):):) lol. I ate a pizza and a 1/2 last night since I was gonna start being good today, so to say, haha. I was soooooo good, Dominos thin and crispy crust is the absolute best!

Alrighty, Ima head out, gotta go get some H2O in my shake and get to typing this paper. Love yas all and I will leave you with these 2 backgrounds...

B. <3

pretty cool, huh?!

2006-02-23T00:15:00.000-05:00

Just a background that someone on MySpace made for muah ...Thanks Enosint, It's an awesome background!!!! I like thing like this! Back to studying ;/ LOL ...See yas soon...
LOVE,
B!!!!

EDIT...

2006-02-18T19:20:00.000-05:00

Hey guys, It's me, Britt...

OK... SO, this post was previously about me and my headaches, lol, BUT I checked my email yesterday and I had 32 emails dedicated to people diagnosing me, lol, seriously ...it ranged from "it's nothing, I've had that before" all the way to a "deathly brain tumor" ...haha, so, I removed the post for the sake of that reason ...Tose of you that said I was having migraines ...well, you were soo soo right! Doc gave me a precription for migraine med and yesterday morning when the headache started, I took one and withion about 30-45 min, it was completly gone! Amanda and a few other sggested I see a chiropractor amd well, yea, I know, I really do! Hopefully I will be able to very soon ...AND the artice that was in teh paper(attached below) had many many mistakes in it ...but it's ok I guess, it's my hometown, guess they know me. THe only hting I didn't like was where they got the measurments off of my website that havn't been updated in like a year ...It said my bi's were 14 and my forearms were 11, haha, bis are a little over 15 and don't know what forearms are. Although I looked really flat in those pics bc I had just woke up :):):) with NO time to eat :(:(:( I wanted to share that with yas! Anyways my bio and measurments are the only things that havn't been updated on my site ...everything else is updated regularly (every few days) ...Alright, gotta go to class, hope all is well and have a great day!!!! :)

Here is the rest of the post... take care!

A lot has gone on since the last time I was ion here. Overall I am doing well :)
OH YEAH...The other day when I trained Back I did 120 lb dbs for single arm side rows for set of 10 on each AND I did the 120 lb db's for stiff leg deads (hams) for 10 reps. Started with 100's for 15 reps tehn 105's for 15, 110's for 12, 115's for 10 and the 120's for 8 :) Moooovin on up :) I've been noticing that since I havn't been training as much I have been getting stronger and a lil bigger too. Hmmm, think I was over training a tad?!

Passed my exam!!!! Nursing major students are on a 7 point scale for grades ...so a 78-84 is a "c" ...That's what I made, a "c", an 82 ...Was higher than the class average though!!!!! :) It pisses me off that Nursing students are the only ones on a 7 point scale ...even the MEdical students here at ECU are on a 10 point scale ... a "c" for them goes all the way to a 70! 70-80 for everyone else is a "c". OH well ...

I'm just sitting here at StarBuck's drinking some coffee and doing some hw. Drinking decaff, lol, gotta work all day tomorrow so I gotta go to sleep at a decent time tonight.

For all of you wondering about webcam ...I really want to be performing but right now I just can't. Only about 2 more months til I gra-gee-ate, haha, for those of you who aren't as country as I am ...graduate :)

Alright I best be heading out of here, gotta go eat ...I got some new protein (cookies and cream) ahhhhh, its sooooooo good! I'd rather drink that than eat sometimes! Must be quality if I'd replace it for food :)

HAVE A GREAT WEEK GUYS AND ILL BE BACK AS SONN AS I CAN!!!!

LOVE YA ALL AND HAPPY BELATED VALENTINES DAY!!!!

By the way, I was on the front page of the newspaper in my home town ...Heres the article and pics:) ...Sorry you'll have to copy and paste them into your URL ...cou;dnt figure out how to make a link :/

craZy...

2006-02-08T13:00:00.000-05:00

It's been a wild week. Training is going well when I can get in the gym. Trained legs Monday and was a little impressed, besides the fact that I made myself sick ...blah :( Started with extensions as always then moved to presses. 3 plates each side 15 reps, 4 plates each side 15 reps, 5 plates each side 15 reps, and 6 plates each side 12 reps ...I was dying but I finished so I was proud of myself. I've never trained with heavy weight and low reps. I've always went pretty heavy with as many reps as possible. Despite the pain I grow more this way, especially on legs. Then did hack squats 4 sets, plate on each side, 15 reps each. Then I finished with more extensions. I felt so sick so I had to cut it somewhat short and get out of there. Went back and finished hams late last night after I got home from clinical. Thought I got out of the liking of trianing late at night, but after training at 1030 last ngiht, I think I might start with that again. Works with my schedule, ya know.

Seems like I have sooooo much going on right now and it's making me go craZy. Hence, why I havn't posted in a few days. I would apoligize but you all know how it is. Anyway, I can't wait for the Arnold! Getmy mind away for 1 or 2 days. Me and Cin 'll have so much fun. I can't wait! Hopefully I will have n=my digital cam back by then. I got a new one and when it was delivered it was defected so that sucked!

Weight was about 166 this morning so I'll probably be around 170 before bed tonight. It's always give or take a few. Trying to lose a little for the Arnold ...can't have little miss hard body cin showing me up, lol, just joking. I need to lose a few anyways. I can't afford to keep buying new clothes.

Alrighty, I gotta head to the library, got an exam friday and a few quizzes tomorrow. Hope ya are all having a great week and I'll check back in soon!
Leave you with a pic from florida, I was about 140-45 here, and 11 weeks out form the USA's...

LOVE YAS,
B.

Hmmm...

2006-02-05T00:03:00.000-05:00

I posted on my blog today and for some ODD reason, ITS GONE!!!! Really really weird!?!?

Have a GREAT weekend!!!!

2006-01-27T13:22:00.000-05:00

I am soooo hungry!! I woke up 15 minutes before class started this morning so I had to jump up throw some clothes on brush my teeth called my friend Loe for a ride and managed to grab a shake on the way out. I am always starving when I wake up ...thats usually the only thing that encourages me to get my butt out of bed and get a move on, lol. I was miserable all during class from 9-1 ...soso hungry. But I'm home now ..fixing some Sirloin and potatoes and a lot of it :)

I wont be around this weekend so thought I'd go ahead and post that I am doing the NEW ULTRA WEB CAM on SUNDAY NIGHT, probably around 11pm EST give or take and hour. I had planned on trying it out last night but I ended up ataying at the Library until 2 so I wasn't able to. Anyways, this will be my first time using the new system. I have already seen Cin on it and it is awesome quality ...no choppiness, no picture delays, and it has sound too! I am weighing almost 170lbs ...most muscle I have ever had!! Come and check it out!! There is a FREE preview room that consist of the actual size video picture and a chat room to talk with me!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend and I will see you Sunday night :):):)
Take it easy
love yas

2006-01-21T00:11:00.000-05:00

OK, so, on the way home from the gym these guys were asking me how much I could bench and lift all that kinda stuff. AND, this is is what our conversation turned in to...

Wasn't planning on working legs, lol :)

As if the first time wasn't enough... A little more weight, the front tire didn't come up off the ground as far as the first time...

FUN FUN NIGHT...
Daniel, Danny, Zack, and Paul... Thanks guys, that was so awesome!

Enough fun for tonight, I trained bi's and tri's and they are killing me. I have to work at the hospital all day tomorrow so I am heading to bed... Talk to yas all soon!

LOVE
B.
